Kings & Queens: The Real Lives of the English Monarchs - Hardcover

by Ann MacMillan (Author), Peter Snow (Author), Dan Snow (Foreword by)

Historians and broadcasters Peter Snow and Ann MacMillan tell the real stories of the most powerful men and women in British history.

Kings & Queens explores the lives, loves, triumphs and disasters of a monarchy that is the envy of the world. Snow and MacMillan offer a unique insight into those born to rule, whether villains or heroes - from cruel King John and warrior-king Edward III, to our own Elizabeth II: dutiful, discreet and the longest-reigning queen in the world.

This is the story of modern civilization, through the lens of those who have ruled.
