The Plantagenets: from Henry Ii to Edward Ii (chinese Global History)
About This Novel
This book is the representative work of William Stubbs, Professor of Modern History at Oxford University and founder of the School of Modern History at Oxford University. It starts from the political situation in England in the late period of Henry I, who was facing the crisis of the crown prince, and ends with the political situation in England during the tragic death of Edward II. It covers the periods of six kings, Henry II, Richard I, King John, Henry III, Edward I, and Edward II. Was Henry, Duke of Normandy's claim to the throne of England legitimate? Why did his marriage to Eleanor become a necessary condition for him to seize the throne of England? What is the realistic logic behind the human tragedy that occurred when Henry II had a scuffle with his disciples? Why is Richard I called the "Lion-Hearted King"? What was Richard I's contribution to the Crusades? Why did King John become the "landless king"? Was Henry III's reign really uneventful? Why do historians think Edward I kicked off the co-ownership of England and Scotland? Why did Edward II die at the hands of his queen Isabella? This book will explain it in detail.
