What's Inside

Meet the warriors, the reformers, the tyrants and the modernizers. How Henry II laid the foundations of English law. How Elizabeth I steered England through religious upheaval to become a global power. How Victoria presided over an empire that spanned the world.

And the ones history has half-forgotten: the usurpers and pretenders, the nine-day reign of Lady Jane Grey, the strange interruption of Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate.

It is not simply a list of rulers in order. The book traces how the monarchy changed - from medieval absolutism to modern constitutional democracy - and how each reign contributed to that transformation. The appendices cover royal residences, burial places, film and television portrayals, and royal protocol, which makes it as useful for planning a trip to Britain as it is for settling an argument.
