À propos de la quatrième de couverture

‘We come from the Devil and we'll end by going to the Devil.’ Richard the Lionheart

The extraordinary Plantagenet dynasty, who reigned over England from the accession of Henry II in 1154 until Richard III's death at Bosworth in 1485, included some of the most magnificent kings ever to rule England – and also some of the most unworthy. During their time on the throne, they hammered out what became our nation, presided over the fusion of French-speaking colonists and conquered Anglo-Saxons into one race, and oversaw the emergence of the Common Law and parliamentary government. But the bloody rebellions and bitter family rivalries often had terrifying consequences. . .

In this single volume, acclaimed historian Desmond Seward brings each one of the Plantagenets to vivid life, recreating the dramatic history of medieval England. Drawing on the major chronicles of the period and on the latest research, he offers fresh perspectives and delivers an easily accessible account of the longest reigning dynasty in English history.
