About this title

About the Author

I am not a historian and when I was in school history was one of my least popular subjects. For me history was all dates and uninteresting facts. How time changes one. Apart from Christmas the only two dates that stuck in my mind were my birthday and 1066. I knew what happened on my birthday but I did not fully appreciate the significance of 1066 - The Battle of Hastings - and little did I realise the importance of that date on British history. Some years ago, however, whilst recovering in hospital after an operation I started reading a book on Edward I and this is when my interest in the history of the monarchy began. Although my interest has increased over the years the perennial problem of remembering all the dates, names etc. remained. I therefore started to gather some basic facts and recorded them in this booklet. It is of course impossible to record nearly one thousand years of historical information in such a short booklet and some small discrepancies were found between one book to another.
