The Plantagenets

This book by Dan Jones provides an epic narrative history of the Plantagenet dynasty, which ruled England from the 12th to the 14th century.

It covers the reigns of notable kings such as Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, King John, and the three Edwards, as well as the tumultuous period of Richard II. Jones combines the latest academic research with a gift for storytelling, vividly recreating significant battles, palace intrigues, and the struggles over succession and governance.

The book also explores the impact of these rulers on the development of English kingship and Anglo-American constitutional thinking.
