Books: The Kings and Queens of England (Plantagent Somerset Fry)
{ Life }
December 14, 2006
This is a reference book published by DK, and I find it interesting that the first names of the authors aren’t listed anywhere within the book. Especially interesting that one of them has the surname of ‘Plantaget,’ which is one of the major dynasties (if you will) of English rulers. Odd odd odd.
I bought this book as a reference, but ended up reading it cover to cover. I can, at the moment, list all forty or so British monarchs in order from the time of William the Conqueror, though I doubt that will last. William, William, Henry, Stephen, Henry, Richard, John, Henry, Edward, Edward, Edward, Richard, Henry, Henry, Henry, Edward, Edward, Richard, Henry, Henry, Edward, Mary, Elizabeth, James, Charles, Charles, James, William and Mary, Anne, George, George, George, George, William, Victoria, Edward, George, Edward, George, Elizabeth. Am I right?
