I think that would have killed Jane Seymour quickly in those days and she would haven't survived the time she did. Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc. I am currently reading Ken Follett's A Column of Fire and have used this gem of a reference several times throughout. Accessible guide to the monarchs of both England and Scotland with extensive royal history distilled into a handy, compact format.

But then again, just how could you convince someone that it would be a good idea to spend a life doing whatever it is that Charles has been doing, without them being dumb as dog's shit?This engrossing book explores the scandal and intrigue behind each royal dynasty, from the ‘accidental’ murder of William II in 1100, through the excesses of Richard III, Henry VIII and ‘Bloody’ Mary, to the conspiracies surrounding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, William and Kate Middleton’s on-off courtship before they married, and Prince Harry’s years of partying, girlfriends and Las Vegas strip poker, before his 2018 marriage to American divorcée Meghan Markle. Celebrate the extraordinary life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II and discover the history of the royal houses of Great Britain.

More than 1,200 years of ruling British monarchs, with detailed background scenes showing dramatic highlights of each era. Then, as the longest-serving Prince of Wales in British history, he dedicated decades of his life to raising awareness for conservation.I have never been overly interested in the kings and queens of England but thought this was a gap in my knowledge of history, so this book was a great overview of each potentate starting with William the Conqueror (1066) up to Elizabeth II. Susan was there for Elizabeth when her Papa died and she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II, and remained at her side as a faithful companion in her early years as a Queen and later as a mother.
