✦ Synopsis

Eight generations of the greatest and worst kings and queens that this country has ever seen ??? from the White Ship to the Lionheart, bad King John to the Black Prince and John of Gaunt ??? this is the dynasty that invented England as we still know it today ??? great history to appeal to readers of Ken Follet, Bernard Cornwell, Tom Holland Please note that the family trees are best viewed on a tablet. This riveting new book explores the lives of eight generations of the greatest ??? and worst ??? royal dynasty this country has ever seen. They were the Plantagenets, and their story is the story of Britain. The Plantagenets inherited a bloodied, broken kingdom from the Normans, and set about expanding royal rule until it stretched at its largest from the Scottish lowlands to the Pyrenees, and from the Ireland to the foothills of the Holy Roman Empire. At the same time, they developed aspects of English law, government, architecture, art and folklore that survive to this day....
