A concise, informative history, of Britain's 56 sovereigns from Alfred the Great in the 9th century to our reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Beautifully illustrated, this book also includes family trees and details of where and when each monarch was born, where they were crowned, the dates they reigned and where they are buried.
Queen Elizabeth II is descended from King Egbert through 12 centuries of monarchs. Showcasing all the family trees, from the Anglo-Saxons to the Windsors, this useful guidebook explains the fascinating process on how power transferred from one monarch to the next.
The expertly written text offers an insight into the private and public life of the heir to the throne of England, from his early years, his education at Gordonstoun and Trinity College, Cambridge, and his time in the Royal Navy, to his humanitarian work and life as son, husband and father.
