Book
Britain’s Royal Families
First published 1989
This reference history traces the genealogy of Britain’s ruling houses from the early medieval kingdoms to the modern monarchy. Family trees, succession lines and biographical entries show how conquest, marriage, disputed legitimacy and dynastic extinction repeatedly changed the crown. The book is designed as a guide to relationships between monarchs and claimants, making the long sequence of Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart and later royal families easier to follow.
