About this audiobook
For more than 1,000 years the British monarchy has dramatically shaped national and international history. Kings and queens have conquered territory, imposed religious change and extracted taxation, each with their own motivations and ambitions.
This fascinating audiobook delves into the extraordinary history of the British monarchy, from Alfred the Great in the 9th century to the Windsors in the 21st. Key moments are explored, including the signing of the Magna Carta, the Battle of Hastings and the abdication of King Edward VIII, and the part they played in the rich tapestry of British history.
