Review
An essential guide to the British monarchy for those who should already know everything but don't. Written with a lively wit but crammed with factual information, this is the perfect way to mug up on your British history. --The Oldie, November 2009
"One way we remember history is by means of a good yarn... Flude's gem of a book works on this premise - that it is the human stories of our monarchs we remember - and he breaks them down into delightful bite-sized chunks" --Family History Monthly, November 2009

Product Description
The tales of the various monarchs of Britain are some of the most interesting in our history. From Henry VIII and his six wives and Edward VIII's abdication to some of our lesser known and mythical monarchs such as King Arthur, "Divorced, Beheaded, Died..." takes you on a gallop through the history of Britain's monarchs from the legendary King Brutus, through the houses of Tudor and Stuart, and up to the Windsors, including the major monarchs of Scotland and Wales. Discover the sticky end that befell Edward II, the story of the teenage queen of England who reigned for less than a fortnight, and find out whether Macbeth really was a king of Scotland. Presented in an accessible, chronological format, "Divorced, Beheaded, Died..." will fill all those gaps in your history knowledge, together with some fascinating and amusing facts that are guaranteed to entertain any history enthusiast.

History can be fun,
By Kim Fan "Kim Fan" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Divorced, Beheaded, Died...: The History of Britain's Kings and Queens in Bite-Sized Chunks (Hardcover)
Bought to help a history student remember facts/dates etc. and found myself dipping into it with great enjoyment and giggles. Have now bought several others in this series for other subjects, all well received.

one of my first kindle experiences,
This review is from: Divorced, Beheaded, Died: The History of Britain's Kings and Queens in Bite-Sized Chunks (Kindle Edition)
Bought this as my first down loaded book ever. I have always been a keen but amateur historian and this sounded fun to read on holiday. I completely enjoyed the easy flow of the book, keeping each king or queen to a paragraph made them easy but memorable. Also some of the lesser known stuff such as Cannut and the Jews.
I would recommend this to people who's children are daunted by the tomes that are normally presented to school kids to learn about our past. This is much more user friendly and will be sticking with me as a reference or just for a cheeky read from time to time. I hope to find more like this as i go along.
