Elizabeth I: The Exhibition Catalogue
Elizabeth I: The Exhibition
Catalogue
    This lavishly illustrated
    book ties in with a major
    international exhibition
    opening at the National
    Maritime Museum in
    Greenwich on 1 May 2003.
    Timed to commemorate the
    400th anniversary since
    the death of Queen
    Elizabeth I in 1603, and
    sponsored by Morgan
    Stanley, the exhibition
    brings together a wealth
    of paintings,
    manuscripts, fine art
    objects and personal
    effects which illuminate
    Elizabeth's fascinating
    history. Elizabeth was
    born at Greenwich and
    spent her first months at
    Greenwich Palace, on the
    site of what is now a
    World Heritage Site,
    Maritime Greenwich. The
    book, containing
    contributions from a
    number of well-known
    experts on Tudor history,
    will focus on
    Elizabeth's Court as well
    as her relationship with
    the City of London and
    its increasingly
    influential mercantile
    class. It will also
    reflect the importance of
    Elizabeth's maritime
    adventurers, and their
    role in creating wealth
    for the crown,
    burgeoning maritime
    enterprise and the
    beginnings of an overseas
    empire.

Lancaster And York: The Wars of the Roses
Lancaster And York: The Wars
Of The Roses
    The war between the
    houses of Lancaster and
    York for the throne of
    England was charactorised
    by treachery, deceit and
    at St Albans, Blore Hill
    and Towton, some of the
    bloodiest and most
    dramatic battles on
    England's soil. Between
    1455 and 1487 the royal
    coffers were bankrupted
    and the conflict resulted
    in the downfall of the
    houses of Lancaster and
    York and the emergence of
    the illustrious Tudor
    dynasty. Alison Weir's
    lucid and gripping
    account focuses on the
    human side of history,
    on the people and
    personalities involved in
    the conflict. At the
    centre of the book stands
    Henry VI, the pious king
    whose mental instability
    led to political chaos,
    Richard Plantagenet,
    Duke of York and Henry`s
    rival, and most
    important of all,
    Margaretof Anjou,
    Henry's wife who took up
    her arms in her husband`s
    cause and battled for
    many years ina violent
    man's world.

The Perfect King: The Life of Edward III, Father of the English Nation
The Perfect King: The Life Of
Edward III, Father Of The
English Nation
    He ordered his uncle to
    be beheaded; he usurped
    his father's throne; he
    started a war which
    lasted for more than a
    hundred years, and taxed
    his people more than any
    other previous king. Yet
    for centuries Edward III
    was celebrated as the
    most brilliant king
    England had ever had,
    and three hundred years
    after his death it was
    said that his kingship
    was perhaps the greatest
    that the world had ever
    known.

    In this
    first full study of the
    man's character and life,
    Ian Mortimer shows how
    Edward personally
    provided the impetus for
    much of the drama of his
    fifty-year reign. Edward
    overcame the tyranny of
    his guardians at the age
    of seventeen and then set
    about developing a new
    form of awe-inspiring
    chivalric kingship. Under
    him the feudal kingdom of
    England became a highly
    organised, sophisticated
    nation, capable of
    raising large revenues
    and deploying a new type
    of projectile-based
    warfare, and without
    question the most
    important military nation
    in Europe. Yet under his
    rule England also
    experienced its longest
    period of domestic peace
    in the middle ages,
    giving rise to a massive
    increase of the nation's
    wealth through the wool
    trade, with huge
    consequences for society,
    art and architecture. It
    is to Edward that we owe
    our system of
    parliamentary
    representation, our
    local justice system,
    our national flag and the
    English language as the
    'tongue of the
    nation'.

    Nineteenth
    century historians saw in
    Edward the opportunity to
    decry a warmonger, and
    painted him as a
    self-seeking, rapacious,
    tax-gathering conqueror.
    Yet as this book shows,

    warrior king was a

    merciful

The Domesday Quest: In search of the Roots of England
The Domesday Quest: In Search
Of The Roots Of England
    In 1086, Domesday Book,
    perhaps the most
    remarkable historical
    document in existence,
    was compiled. This
    tremendous story of
    England and its people
    was made at the behest of
    the Norman king William
    the Conqueror. It was
    called Domesday, the day
    of judgement, because
    'like the day of
    judgement, its decisions
    are unalterable'. In
    Search of the Roots of
    England is not only a
    study of the ancient
    manuscript but an attempt
    to analyse the world that
    Domesday Book so vividly
    portrayed. By skilful use
    of the Domesday record
    historian Michael Wood
    examines Norman society
    and the Anglo-Saxon,
    Roman, and even the Iron
    Age cultures that
    preceded it. 'Wood is a
    perceptive, entertaining
    and enthusiastic
    companion.' Sunday Times
    'Wood is a lively
    storyteller.' Washington

1066
1066
    Everyone knows what
    William the Conqueror won
    the Battle of Hastings in
    1066, but in recent
    years is has become
    customary to assume that
    the victory was virtually
    inevitable, given the
    alleged superiority of
    Norman military
    technology. In this new
    study, underpinned by
    biographical sketches of
    the great warriors who
    fought for the crown of
    England in 1066, Frank
    McLynn shows that this
    view is mistaken. The
    Battle on Senlac Hill on
    14 October was
    desperately close-run
    thing, which Harold lost
    only because of an
    incredible run of bad
    fortune and some
    treachery from the Saxon
    elite in England. Both
    William and Harold were
    fine generals, but
    Harold was the more
    inspirational of the two.
    Making use of all the
    latest scholarship,
    McLynn shows that most of
    our 'knowledge' of 1066
    rests on myths or
    illusions: Harold did not
    fight at Hastings with
    the same army with which
    he had been victorious at
    Stamford Bridge three
    weeks earlier; the Battle
    of Senlac was not won by
    Norman archery; Harold
    did not die with an arrow
    in the eye.
