This compendium volume of two earlier books is fully revised & updated. The monarchy is one of Britain's most revered institutions -- but also one of its most tumultuous. In Crown & Country David Starkey charts its rollercoaster history from earliest times to the present; from the courtly love of the Middle Ages through the turbulent reign of the Tudors to the chaos of the Civil War.
