Sometimes the author does this thing, that he must've thought was hilarious, where he lists all the possible titles and individual lands a certain king had. That shit takes up an entire page while we get one sentence about major historical figures and events.

This book is pretty self explanatory. It's a timeline. Which means it's a whole heck of a lot of info at once, but it was cool to see the evolution of monarchy in Europe. In the beginning, lots of kings/princes/dukes/whatever were removed from power by murder, and boy did they like blinding people! It was also interesting to learn what different kingdoms the now named France, Spain, Germany, etc. were over the centuries. It's a nice thing to have around as a reference.

I have in fact got a Kindle edition and am wondering whether this was wise. Cannot readily go back and forth to compare things. However, I have chosen to look at the ancient history and some of the facts are fascinating as well as the advanced abilities of some cultures at very early dates.

Just what I love, everything your need to know, in a sentence or two, about the Kings and Queens of Europe

Quite a few errors in this book. I knew it was in timeline format, but it felt too textbooky.

Illustrated chronology makes for a handy reference tool.
