The Kings & Queens of Britain

A fascinating dictionary on the Kings and Queens of Britain that gives comprehensive coverage of the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish monarchs, from mythical and Romano-British rulers to the House of Windsor. The entries are ordered in sections, by regions for pre-1066 monarchs, and then by royal lines, e.g. Tudors and Hanoverians. Detailed entries give information on themes such as Coronations and Regalia, and on significant royal residences or traditions like Sandringham House and Touching for the King's Evil. The main text is supported by illustrations, regional maps, and genealogies.
