Description
In this beautifully illustrated book, Cath Senker examines the reigns of rulers from across the various parts of Britain. From benevolent monarchs to religious fanatics, this book explores each ruler's significance in shaping the Britain we know today. In this beautifully illustrated, full-color hardback, Cath Senker delves into the extraordinary history of the British monarchy, from Alfred the Great to King Charles III. For more than 1,000 years the British monarchy has dramatically shaped national and international history. Kings and queens have conquered territory, imposed religious change and extracted taxation, each with their own motivations and ambitions. There have been benevolent rulers, violent ones, religious fanatics, brilliant economists, masters of diplomacy and the power hungry. But whether they have abused their power or used it for good, each monarch has played a part in the rich tapestry of British history, coping with both international and civil wars, rebellions and criticism. The Kings & Queens of Britain introduces this fascinating thousand-year history, providing rich biographical detail of Britain's remarkable monarchs. ABOUT THE SERIES: Sirius Visual Reference Library brings together wonderfully illustrated reference guides on scientific and historical topics, made bold and fascinating through full-color maps, timelines, photographs, feature boxes and other visual elements.
