In Days of Old..., 4 Jan 2003
By A Customer
A facsinating trawl through the greatest English Plantaganet Kings history..Easy to follow, despite some complex politics, due to the clear and concise writing...Also good is the inclusion is the the Chronicles of the Kings written at the time...
Lashings of blood-letting, murders, treachery, conquests etc etc..A part inspiration behind a lot of Tolkeins Lord of the Rings...

A good book, 14 Mar 2003
This book is full of information on all aspects of the plantagenet dynasty from the magna carta to the black death. It features articles on topics ranging from everyday life, the kings life and other events of national importance. The pages are split in two, with the articles on the right, and the text of the chroniclers on the the left. The articles tend to focus on events mentioned in the chronicles, which makes the book easier to digest and very interesting. This book could go into more detail at places, but all in all a handy and interesting book for anyone studying, or with an interest in the age of chivalry.
