Measuring monarchy : the most overrated and underrated British kings and queens
Hames, Tim2025
Books
The British monarchy fascinates us, but why wouldn't it? The list of kings and queens that we have been subjected to features a dazzling cast of characters, and we routinely debate over who deserves the title of greatest monarch in our long history. From William the Conqueror to Henry V, Elizabeth I, Victoria and latterly Elizabeth II - their lives tell the story of our nation. But what makes for a truly successful reign? 'Measuring Monarchy' provides a completely original outlook as to how to analyse British kings and queens and throws a revisionist Molotov Cocktail into our historical thinking.
