The Plantagenet Chronicles tells the fascinating story of a forgotten dynasty. Ascending the throne just after the decline of the Normans in 1154 and retaining their grip on power until the rise of the Tudors in 1485, the Plantagenets oversaw a remarkable array of political, social and economic changes: parliament, trial by jury, civil rights, the English language and even the emergence of a distinct British national identity all came about under their reign. The Plantagenet Chronicles is a compelling, year-by-year account of a tumultuous and critical period in the development of the English nation. Each year is covered by a concise, informative and accessible narrative, amplified by extensive quotation from contemporary sources and accompanied by stunning images of the period - including illuminations, portraits, maps, royal seals, tapestries and other artifacts.… (plus d'informations)

Survey of the first portion of the Plantagenet dynasty, more or less from Geoffrey to John (1128-1216). The portions that are analytical are nicely done, and there are some excellent and instructive maps. For a popular, as opposed to a scholarly, book, the vast quantity of translation from contemporary chronicles was a bit much. It could have been trimmed down substantially without losing the flavour of the original material. It would have made for a more slender, but streamlined, book. An unrelated book, The Tudor Chronicles, did a much better balance with the primary source materials. ( )

Absolutely wonderful contempory writings and photos. ( )

A collection of quotes with extensive side-bar material about the royal family, from Henry II down to King John. It is a coherent narrative as assembled and would be a good follow-up to a first survey. I found it by no means definitive, but the bibliography is a good guide to further investigations. ( )

A large, nicely illustrated book. Some contemporary texts included.
