About the Book

What makes a monarch 'great'? Is it the miles of conquered territory, the creation of enduring laws, or the cultural legacy left for generations to come? This sprawling epic explores the very definition of greatness by tracing the evolution of the English and British throne through the lives of its twenty-five most significant players. From the Anglo-Saxon warlords defending their shores from Viking invaders to the modern Windsors navigating a world of global media, this book examines how the unique character of each sovereign shaped the destiny of the nation. Our journey begins in the crucible of the Dark Ages with Alfred the Great, who laid the foundations of England, and his grandson Æthelstan, the first to rule it all. It continues through the tumultuous medieval period, a time of castle-building, crusade, and civil strife. Here you will encounter the formidable William the Conqueror, who reshaped the nation's society and language; the energetic Henry II, who forged the English common law; and the legendary warrior-kings like Richard the Lionheart, Edward I, and Henry V, whose ambitions were tested on the battlefields of France, Scotland, and the Holy Land. The arrival of the Tudors ushers in an age of transformation, dominated by the larger-than-life figures of Henry VIII, who broke a kingdom from the Church for the sake of a son, and his daughter Elizabeth I, who defeated the Spanish Armada and presided over a golden age. This is followed by the dramatic Stuart century, a period of breathtaking conflict that pitted crown against Parliament, leading to the execution of one king, a brief republican experiment, and the ultimate establishment of a constitutional monarchy that would change the nature of kingship forever. Finally, the story moves into the modern era with the Hanoverians and the rise of the British Empire. Witness the long and turbulent reign of George III, who lost America but became a symbol of British resolve against Napoleon. Stand at the zenith of imperial power with Victoria, who redefined the monarchy for a new industrial age. And conclude with the remarkable reign of Elizabeth II, who provided a cherished anchor of stability for seventy years, guiding the throne from the twilight of empire into the complex, fast-paced world of the 21st century.
