A Brief History of British Kings and Queens: British Royal History from Alfred the Great to the Present by Mike Ashley

4.0

I had been looking for a book like this for a long time. A Brief History of British Kings and Queens was exactly what I was looking for. The author presented each monarch in a concise manner, focusing on each one's major achievements and failures. I found the various genealogical tables very helpful in unravelling the often complicated and intertwined lineages of the monarchs of England, Scotland and Wales. This was a fascinating read which helped me decide which kings or queens I may be interested in reading about in greater detail in the future.
