Summary:
"The
British
monarchy
is at a turning point. Concise and engaging, this book charts the very beginnings of
British
reign through to the longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II - and looks forward to the reign of
King
Charles
III
. Much more than a linear history, this is the intertwined story of royalty and state, of divisions, invasions, rivalries, death and glory; the story of nation fates deeply tied with the personal endeavours of monarchs through the ages. Black expertly weaves together thematic chapters from the origins of
monarchy
, medieval times and sixteenth-century developments, to the crises of the seventeenth-century, settlement and imperialism, and the challenges of the modern
age
. Exploring the House of Wessex, the Norman Conquest, Henry VIII and the Tudors, Victorianism and key events such as abdication of Edward VIII, this book is a necessary and comprehensive guide to the
British
Monarchy
and how it has shaped history - and our lives today."--Publisher's description.
