This browsable dictionary gives a detailed history of the kings and queens of Britain, ranging from mythical and early pre-conquest rulers to the present House of Windsor. Covering English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish Monarchs, the entries are ordered in sections, by regions for pre-1066 monarchs, and then by royal lines. Detailed boxed entries give information on themes such as Coronations and Regalia, and on significant royal residences or traditions like Sandringham House and Touching for the King's Evil, while illustrations include images of various monarchs, as well as regional maps and genealogies. With comprehensive coverage of the rulers, their regnal dates, policies, characters, and the roles they played in shaping history, it is an ideal reference for students of European history.
