New condition color illustrated semi-hard wraps. Includes Introduction; Glossary, Chronology; Bibliography; Credits and Index. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and color photographs. "A thoroughly detailed and expansive guide to the fascinating history of the monarchy and ancient warrior leadership from Saxon and Viking times. From the crusades of Richard I, Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries and the courtly politics of the reign of Elizabeth I, this is a comprehensive but hugely accessible guide to the ever-evolving role of the leadership and royalty in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland." -- from the rear outer cover. "Heroic, triumphant, corrupt, brutal or ineffective, the many and varied rulers of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales have created a powerful and fascinating story from our rich, compelling, and strife-riven past. Arranged chronologically in thematic sections by country or royal house, Kings & Queens begins with entries on the early kings who ruled over small provinces. From civil war, two World Wars and the abdicaton crisis, to the great monarchs who held the Crown at the height of the British Empire, the book encompasses every king and queen of Britain. Placed in historical context the character, lives and times, achievements and failures of every ruler are explored allowing the reader to trace the ever-evolving role of the monarchy throughout history to the present day." -- from the French style extended inner front semi-hard cover flap.
