This brilliant new book explores the lives of eight generations of the greatest
kings and queens that this country has ever seen, and the worst. The Plantagenet
s - their story is the story of Britain. England's greatest royal dynasty, the P
lantagenets, ruled over England through eight generations of kings.
Their rem
arkable reign saw England emerge from the Dark Ages to become a highly organised
kingdom that spanned a vast expanse of Europe. Plantagenet rule saw the establi
shment of laws and creation of artworks, monuments and tombs which survive to th
is day, and continue to speak of their sophistication, brutality and secrets. Da
n Jones brings you a new vision of this battle-scarred history.
