Description
Who invented the 'House of Windsor' as a royal name? Who founded Westminster Abbey? Which king had 21 illegitimate children? David Hilliam answers all of these questions and more. Here is a continuous history of the English monarchy, showing how the nine dynasties rose and fell.
The book describes the most memorable features of the life and times of each king and queen - from Egbert, crowned in 802 and considered the first king of England, to Queen Elizabeth II - as well as accounts of the extraordinary lives of their queens, consorts, mistresses and bastard children. It describes what has happened to the monarchs' mortal remains, and relates many lively incidents of royal history.
