The Ring and the Crown

by Alison Weir

First published 2011

2.5(5)

Co-written with Kate Williams, Sarah Gristwood and Tracy Borman, this illustrated history surveys British royal weddings from the Norman Conquest to the marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. It examines marriages as diplomatic alliances, succession strategies, public ceremonies and personal relationships. Across changing dynasties, the contributors show how royal weddings have repeatedly combined private expectation with constitutional and national symbolism.
