First published in 2014, in A History of the English Monarchy, Gareth Russell traces the story of the English monarchy and the interactions between popular belief, religious faith and brutal political reality that helped shape the extraordinary journey of one of History’s most important institutions.

Charting the fascinating path of the English monarchy from the uprising of the Warrior-Queen Boadicea in AD60 through each king and queen up to the “Golden Age” of Elizabeth I, Russell offers a fresh take on a fascinating subject as old as the nation itself.
