The Plantagenets: The Kings Who Made England

di Jones Dan (Autore)

William Collins, 2019

This brilliant new audiobook explores the lives of eight generations of the greatest kings and queens that this country has ever seen, and the worst. The Plantagenets – their story is the story of Britain. England’s greatest royal dynasty, the Plantagenets, ruled over England through eight generations of kings. Their remarkable 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 establishment of laws and creation of artworks, monuments and tombs which survive to this day, and continue to speak of their sophistication, brutality and secrets. Dan Jones brings you a new vision of this battle-scarred history. From the Crusades, to King John’s humbling over Magna Carta and the tragic reign of the last Plantagenet, Richard II – this is a blow-by-blow account of England’s most thrilling age. In The Plantagenets, bestselling author Dan Jones takes readers on a journey through mediaeval England, making it a top pick for history buffs. As a Sunday Times bestselling book, it offers an unparalleled exploration of the country's greatest royal dynasty. For fans of Marc Morris (The Anglo-Saxons), Michael Livingston (Agincourt), Tom Holland (Dynasty), Alison Weir (Against Our Better Judgment), and Ian Mortimer (The Time Traveller's Guide to Regency Britain).
