DVD Description

David Starkey's Monarchy - Series 1 is more than just the biographies of the kings and queens of England: it is an in-depth examination of the monarchy's relationship with the English people, Parliament, laws and land throughout history. The Monarchy series is presented by the eminent historian, Dr. David Starkey, who brings to life the very powerful individuals of the English Royal Family by using his unique and engaging gift as a communicator. The importance of the rich heritage of the Anglo-Saxon kings is also underlined in this analysis of the oldest surviving political institution in Europe.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Start, 6 Aug 2007

By	M. H. Forrest - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

David Starkey's Monarchy, or Monarchy by David Starkey, has been a fine series, detailing the history of the English Monarchy from the first Anglo-Saxon kings, to the present day.

This is the first of four series, the last of which, as of 6 August 2007, has not been shown. It is composed of six episodes, to the second and third series' five, which cover the Anglo-Saxon, Norman and Plantagenet periods.

1. A Nation State: The Heptarchy, Redwald, Offa, Alfred
2. �ngla Land: Ehtelred, The Vikings, Canute, Edward the Confessor
3. Conquest: The Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror, the Normans
4. Dynasty: Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, John, Magna Carta
5. A United Kingdom: Edward I, II and III
6. Death of a Dynasty: Richard II, Henry IV-VI, The Wars of the Roses

David Starkey is a renowned historian, and thanks to Radio 4s 'Moral Maze' a well known public figure. He is primarily, though, and expert in the Tudor period. He has produced several series for Channel 4 on that subject, namely 'Elizabeth', 'Edward and Mary' and 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII'. He has personally admitted that pre-Tudor England is not particularly familiar to him and he had to research it much more for this series. This does not affect his competence in presenting this series as it is, naturally, only a passing glance at each period. However, his lack of passion for particular topics is occasionally evident.

None the less this is still an entertaining trek, or should that be sprint, through English history and is a good starting point for a casual viewer, especially as it may lead one to investigate a particular subject further.
