Want a quick summary just to touch on who was ruling when during the years from William the Conquerer to Henry VIII? Then this is the book for you.
A brief summary of their reign (with many of the juicy parts taken out disappointingly) with a few facts that made them interesting and set them apart from the many other Henry's, Edwards & Richard's of the age.
There are some nice pictures as well.
Nothing more to say really.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes a nice lite pavlova version of history, this is definitely no stodgy fruit cake.

I wish this had included monarchs other than just the English. But it was very good!

This book was fun and informative; it had a lot of pictures which is always a plus. It didn't provide a lot of cultural context but it gave a good overview of each monarch, their leadership style and the highlights and lowpoints of their reign. It was a good jumpig off point for my month (or more) of studying the monarchs!
