Kings and Queens of England and Scotland

Detailing the major events of English and Scottish history, this book describes English events such as the Battle of Hastings, the Spanish Armada and the Civil War, alongside the private lives of each monarch. The parallel history of the Scottish monarchy is also detailed, from Kenneth MacAlpin in 843 to James VI in 1603, and events in Wales and Ireland are covered. Throughout the book, a chronology covers the major events of each monarch's reign, and family trees show the line of succession to the throne over the centuries.
