Editorial Reviews: This brand new dictionary gives a detailed history of the kings and queens of Britain, ranging from mythical and early pre-conquest rulers to the present House of Windsor. Covering English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish monarchs, the entries are ordered in sections, by regions for pre-1066 monarchs (Romano-British rulers, Viking York), and then by royal lines (Tudors, Hanoverian). From King Arthur to Queen Victoria, Owain Glyn Dwr to Vortigern, the dictionary gives comprehensive coverage of the rulers, their regnal dates, policies, characters, and the roles they played in shaping history.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Basic reference Comment: The Kings and Queens of Britain is a well written basic reference for the British monarchy, with biographies, genealogical charts and maps. The biographies of the Queen consorts are a welcome addition. Although I like this book, I believe that The Mammoth Book of Brittish Kings and Queens by Mike Ashley covers the subject matter in much more depth, although he does not include biographies of the Queen consorts. Ashley's book is also available from Amazon. More Reviews
