5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful, compulsively readable portrait, 4 Mar 2007
By Klaus van Amelrode "kmcva" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The English Monarchs series has brought the highest standards of historical scholarship to the wide audience. Leading historians scrutinize the lives of the kings and queens of England and explore the cumulative impact of the longest permanent governing institution in Europe.

This outstanding biography is a revealing portrait of a complex and fascinating figure, the book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the politics and culture of the English middle ages. Much learning, skillfully deployed as here, evokes pleasure as well as admiration.

A book to be recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterful Biography, 14 Oct 2006
By J. Goulbourn "Goulby1805" (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great piece of narrative history, well written, easy to follow and very informative. An invaluable source for students of the period and although a little dated, (first published 1973) still a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excelent and readable biography of the first Angevin king, 11 Jun 2001
By A Customer
W.L. Warren, who has also written about King John and Richard, writes with a lively style that often makes one forget that Henry II is a scholarly book of History. Anexcellent resourse for those interested in the formation of the Plantagenet dominions (commonly called the Angevin Empire).
