She's covers Britain's monarchy from the late 700s up till 2002. Each royal house is given a summary at the start of each chapter, followed by the essential details of the ruling king/queen, followed by their consort, any siblings they may have had, and any children. Heirs who have children are also accounted for. This is more of a reference book that can be used to access specific info, but it may also be read from start to finish. I did the latter, however, I did skip most of the Scottish monarchy section, plus some of the second generation offspring details. At times it proved a bit like reading a birth or death register, but on the other hand the info is clear if you wanted to look up someone in particular. I found the section on pre-conquest England the most interesting, as the country was so vastly different in its structure and way of living from today that it's hard to imagine. It's also shocking to see how many English queens lost their children in infancy or upon their birth. Queen Anne's misfortune as a mother was especially sad to read. It's hard to imagine what it must've been like to lose one child, never mind nineteen. I've copied the main details below of her unfortunate children: 1 Stillborn daughter 2 Mary or Marie Born on 2 June, 1685. Died on 8 February, 1687. 3 Anne Sophia Born on 12 May, 1686. Died on 2 February, 1687. 4 Stillborn child. 5 Stillborn son 6 Miscarriage 7 Stillborn child 8 William Henry Born on 24 July, 1689. Died on 30 July, 1700. 9 Mary Born on 14 October, 1690. Died aged 2 hours. 10 George Born on 17 April, 1692. Died, aged a few minutes. 11 Stillborn daughter 12 Stillborn child 13 Stillborn daughter 14 Stillborn son Of six months’ growth. 15 & 16 Stillborn twins A male foetus of 2 or 3 months’ growth and a male foetus of 7 months’ growth. 17 Stillborn son 18 Stillborn son 19 Stillborn son geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
