All About History Book of Kings & Queens

Description

Throughout history, monarchs have had a huge impact on the world, whether uniting nations or tearing them apart. Some have inherited great power, while others have fought to take what they saw as rightfully theirs. There have been kings that instigated wars to demonstrate their strength and conquer the world, and queens who helped shape the future of their nations. In this book we take a look at some of the most iconic and influential monarchs the world has ever seen, from Herod and Cleopatra to Henry VIII and Louis XIV. We'll also take a look at the 30 kings and queens who changed the world, the ten kings who can lay claim to the bloodiest reign, the royal warriors who did battle to claim their thrones, and how the British monarchy was born.
