David Starkey's 'Monarchy' charts the rise of the British monarchy from the War of the Roses, the English Civil War and the Georgians, right up until the present day monarchs of the 20th century.

With both authority and verve, David Starkey unmasks the personalities and achievements, the defeats and victories, that lie behind the monarchs that form the backbone of British history.

This magisterial study begins with the Tudors -- five monarchs who ruled over England and Ireland until the reformation of the 1530s -- and continues with the Stuarts who followed them. It includes Oliver Cromwell, a non-monarch, who ruled as Lord Protector, a 'king in all but name', and the Georgians, a dynasty that bean with the accession of George I and ended with the death of George IV. Queen Victoria, the longest reigning monarch in British history, and, finally, our present day Queen, Elizabeth II, who today reigns over sixteen independent nations make up the book's latter stages.

More important than this, 'Monarchy' encompasses the greatest and most notorious events in our history. From the War of the Roses to the infamous Gunpowder Plot, the bloody battles of the English Civil War to the madness of King George III, the Napoleonic Era to the heyday of Empire under Victoria, and finally to our present day Queen Elizabeth II, 'Monarch' offers a radical reappraisal of English nationhood, culture and politics, shown through the most central institution in English life.
