Following "biographies" of literary heroes like Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes, as well as popular histories of World War II and the sex lives of great historical figures, Nigel Cawthorne gives us this heavily illustrated pageant of the monarchs who have shaped English history. Here are Saxon kings Alfred the Great and Harold II; the Norman invader William the Conqueror and William Rufus; Plantagenets like Richard the Lionheart (who only spent 10 months of his reign in England) and John I, who signed the Magna Carta; the Houses of Lancaster and York-in particular Richard III-and the Tudors, from Henry VII to Elizabeth I. Here too are the Stuarts, the Hanovers, the Saxe-Coburgs, and the Windsors.
