Description
This sweeping history traces the rise and reign of the Plantagenets, the dynasty that reshaped England through conquest, political ambition, dynastic marriage, and relentless conflict. From Henry II’s consolidation of royal power to the turbulent reigns of monarchs such as Richard the Lionheart and Edward III, the narrative explores a kingdom expanding its influence across Britain and continental Europe. Alongside battlefield triumphs, it illuminates the rivalries, rebellions, religious tensions, and family struggles that defined medieval kingship. Vivid and accessible, the book brings to life the personalities and power struggles behind one of England’s most consequential royal houses.
