The Spencer family attracted world-wide attention with the marriage of Diana to Prince Charles. But who exactly are the Spencers? In this intriguing personal account, Charles Spencer traces the history of his family from its beginnings as a medieval sheep-farming dynasty. There are many aristocratic families who have one overriding hero, fount of all titles, power and money, to whose name and idea succeeding generations cling. As Charles Spencer recounts here, this is not the case with the Spencers, who, he believes, have never forgotten their roots as sheep farmers: 'There's no room for flashiness when your fortune and influence were won from fleeces and mutton.' Yet the history of the family is alive with fascinating characters. Using archives and documents previously unavailable to the historian and incorporating his own knowledge and experiences of the family, Charles Spencer has written a book that offers an entertaining narrative and one that puts into vivid context the life of the most loved princess of twentieth-century Britain.
