Description
Historians and broadcasters Peter Snow and Ann Macmillan tell the real stories of the most powerful men and women in British history.
From Alfred the Great to Charles III, Kings & Queens explores the lives, loves, triumphs and disasters of a monarchy that is the envy of the world. From Charles I's romantic escapades and William III's asthma attack at the Battle of the Boyne to George II's touching funeral request and Elizabeth II's wartime truck-driving, this groundbreaking book brings these legendary figures to life like never before.
Painstakingly researched and thrillingly told, Kings & Queens offers a unique insight into the heroes—and villains—who were born to rule. Discover how the British sovereigns experienced success, failure, tragedy and joy, just like the rest of us—all while bearing the heavy weight of the crown.
This is the history of Britain, told through the lives of those who have ruled.
