The Plantagenets: the Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England

"The Plantagenets" is a best-selling historical book by Penguin Publishing in the UK and the United States at the same time. It tells the story: The first king of the Plantagenet Dynasty inherited a broken country from the Norman Dynasty that was torn apart, bloody and drifting, and then developed it into an empire. At its peak, its territory stretched from Scotland to Jerusalem. In this epic narrative history, Dan Jones makes the point that the Tudor monarchs were far inferior to the Plantagenet Kings who came before them, who were equally fierce, fearless, and resourceful emperors.
