Conquest: The English Kingdom of France in the Hundred Years War by Juliet Barker, Royalty Book
Conquest: The English Kingdom
Of France In The Hundred Years
War By Juliet Barker, Royalty
Book
    Author of the
    best-selling AGINCOURT,
    Juliet Barker now tells
    the equally remarkable,
    but largely forgotten,
    story of the dramatic
    years when England ruled
    France at the point of a
    sword. Henry V's second
    invasion of France in
    1417 launched a campaign
    that would put the crown
    of France on an English
    head. Only the miraculous
    appearance of a visionary
    peasant girl - Joan of
    Arc - would halt the
    English advance. Yet
    despite her victories,
    her influence was
    short-lived: Henry VI had
    his coronation in Paris
    six months after her
    death and his kingdom
    endured for another
    twenty years. When he
    came of age he was not
    the leader his father had
    been. It was the dauphin,
    whom Joan had crowned
    Charles VII, who would
    finally drive the English
    out of France. Supremely
    evocative and brilliantly
    told, this is narrative
    history at its most
    colourful and compelling
    - the true story of those
    who fought for an English
    kingdom of France. This
    book has 512 pages and is
    12.6 x 4.5 x 19.6 cms

A Brief History of the Private Life of Elizabeth II, by Michael Paterson, Royalty Book
A Brief History Of The Private
Life Of Elizabeth II, By
Michael Paterson, Royalty Book
    Elizabeth II is within a
    few years of becoming the
    longest-reigning British
    monarch. A personally
    quiet, modest and
    dutiful person, she is
    far better-informed about
    the lives of her subjects
    than they often realize.
    She has known every Prime
    Minister since Winston
    Churchill and every
    American President since
    Eisenhower.Yet what of
    the woman behind the
    crown? The book seeks to
    take a new look at this
    exhaustively-documented
    life and show how Queen
    Elizabeth became the
    person she is. Who, and
    what, have been the
    greatest influences upon
    her? What are her likes
    and dislikes? What are
    her hobbies? Who are her
    friends? What does she
    feel about the demands of
    duty and protocol? Is she
    really enjoying herself
    when she smiles during
    official events? How
    differently does she
    behave when out of the
    public eye? Examining the
    places in which she grew
    up or has lived, the
    training she received and
    her attitudes to
    significant events in
    national life, it
    presents a fresh view of
    one of recent history's
    most important figures.

Young Henry: The Rise of Henry VIII by Robert Hutchinson, Royalty Book
Young Henry: The Rise Of Henry
VIII By Robert Hutchinson,
Royalty Book
    Henry VIII always had
    problems with women. Born
    on 28 June 1491, he
    lived in the shadow of
    his elder brother Arthur
    and his dour and
    autocratic father, Henry
    VII. Elizabeth of York,
    Henry's mother, died
    when he was twelve and
    thereafter he lived under
    the thumb of his
    formidable grandmother,
    Lady Margaret Beaufort,
    who beneath a pious
    exterior was the
    arch-conspirator of the
    last days of the Wars of
    the Roses. Everything
    changed when Arthur died
    of tuberculosis at Ludlow
    Castle in 1502, less
    than six months after his
    marriage to the Spanish
    princess, Catherine of
    Aragon. Henry VII died in
    April 1509 when his sole
    heir was nine weeks away
    from his eighteenth
    birthday. His grandmother
    acted as regent until his
    birthday and he married
    his brother's widow,
    Catherine on 11 June,
    two weeks before their
    joint coronation. Henry
    quickly swept away the
    musty cobwebs of his
    father's court. He loved
    magnificence, merriment
    and the hunting field,
    and could fire an arrow
    further than most of his
    professional archers.
    Henry could dance
    everyone off their feet
    and could drink most men
    under the table. But
    Henry became frustrated
    and angry at his lack of
    sons by Catherine and his
    attention began to
    wander. Some time in 1526
    he fell passionately in
    love with Anne Boleyn. At
    the age of 35, the time
    for youthful frolic had
    ended. To achieve his
    heart's overpowering
    desire, the executions
    had now to begin. Young
    Henry provides readers
    with an unique and
    compelling vision of the
    splendours and tragedies
    of the royal court,
    presided over by a
    magnificent and ruthless
    monarch. This book has

Mary Tudor by H F M Prescott, Royalty Book
Mary Tudor By H F M Prescott,
Royalty Book
    Mary I is notorious for
    her persecution of
    Protestants and has been
    vilified by generations
    of partisan historians.
    H.F.M. Prescott brings a
    more humane and measured
    perspective to the life
    of this tormented woman.
    First published in 1940
    under the title SPANISH
    TUDOR, Prescott's
    biography won the James
    Tait Black prize the
    following year. An
    extensively revised and
    updated edition was
    published in 1953 under
    the title MARY TUDOR.
    Prescott sums up her
    subject's life as
    follows: 'Perhaps no
    other reign in English
    history has seen such a
    great endeavour made,
    and so utterly defeated.
    All that Mary did was
    undone, all she intended
    utterly
    unfulfilled...mistaken
    often, almost always
    misguided in her public
    office, with much
    blindness, some rancour,
    some jealousy, some
    stupid cruelty to answer
    for, she had yet
    trodden, lifelong and
    manfully, the way that
    other sinners know.' This

Great Harry
Great Harry's Navy By Geoffrey
Moorhouse, Royalty Book
    It was Henry VIII who
    began the process of
    making England a
    first-rate sea-power. He
    inherited no more than
    seven warships from Henry
    VII, yet at his own
    death the King's Navy had
    53 seaworthy ships afloat
    (much the same size as
    the Royal Navy today)
    manned by almost 8, 000
    sailors. Henry VIII
    originally needed a navy
    to hold the English
    Channel and blockade the
    enemy while he invaded
    France. Later when
    invasion from the
    continent grew serious
    Henry's navy fought in
    many actions. Moorhouse
    doesn't only deal with
    seagoing exploits. Thanks
    to Henry VIII dockyards
    were built (Greenwich and
    Deptford), timber had to
    be felled in quantities
    previously unknown (from
    land seized during the
    dissolution of the
    monasteries), and hemp
    (for rope) was harvested;
    new skills were
    developed, not least the
    gun-founders and the
    master shipwrights. Some
    of the ships were
    celebrated - 'Henry Grace
    a Dieu' (aka 'Great
    Harry') was the biggest
    ship in the world - 1,
    000 tons, 122 guns,
    crew of 700 and the 'Mary
    Rose' (500 tons, 80
    guns, 40 crew) became
    one of the most famous
    after she heeled over too
    far, took water and sank
    with the loss of almost
    all hands off Portsmouth.
