Monarchs of Britain

The royal power in England has a long history and honorable traditions. For centuries, waves of conquerors have invaded the British Isles — Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Scandinavians, and finally, the Franco-Normans. All of them brought with them their traditions and cultural... influences, the blend of which formed that unique whole that is now called Great Britain. Having survived centuries of external and internal wars, rebellions, coups, and executions, the British monarchy has learned to find common ground with various political forces, to respect the opinion of subjects from all classes and nations.
The book by historian Vadim Erlichman includes documentary-based portraits of twelve British kings and queens — from the legendary Arthur to the reigning Elizabeth II. The author also briefly discusses the reigns of all other monarchs of England and Great Britain, starting with the unifier of the country — Egbert of Wessex. At the end of the book, reference materials are provided, including lists of kings.
