A Brief History Of British Kings & Queens

Here is the whole of recorded British royal history, from the earliest longs onwards, including the monarchies of England, Scotland, Wales and the United Kingdom for over a thousand years. Individual royal portraits, beginning with Alfred the Great and following royal lineages up to the present House of Windsor, are threaded into a history of division and eventual union of the British Isles - even the most familiar figures are revealed in a new and sometimes surprising light. This revised edition of Mike Ashley's acclaimed bock includes biographies of all the royals of recorded history, an overview of the semi-legendary longs and queens of prehistory and the Dark Ages, and other useful facts and records, family trees and time chants. This is an invaluable and accessible source for students and general readers.
