Christopher Brooke, historian and professor at the University of London, has devoted his book to the history of royalty in England. Observing the succession of kings on the throne, the author gives not only the dates of their reigns and battles, he gives an idea of what they were like: their tastes, interests and achievements. Why was King Æthelstan such a connoisseur of "relics," was William II an atheist, was Henry I involved in the assassination of William II? In answering these questions, Brooke explores the nature of monarchical power, seeking to free himself from modern prejudices and the opinions of those historians who saw royalty as merely a source of tyranny.
The book is peppered with illustrations, genealogical tables, and maps.
