Explores the lives of 8 generations of Plantagenet kings and queens, from the 12th century to the 14th. They were by turns beautiful and cruel, judicious and insanely paranoid, brilliant and a tragically flawed family. This is a mesmerising history of England before the Tudors, from the author of }Summer Of Blood{. '}The Plantagenets{ is a wonderful gallop through English history in the traditional way.
