The Wars of the Roses didn't start on the battlefield: Blood Roses traces it back to the beginning. Starting in 1245 with the founding of the House of Lancaster, Kathryn Warner follows a twisted path of political intrigue, bloody war, and fascinating characters over 200 years. From the Barons' Wars to the overthrowing of Edward II, Eleanor of Castile to Isabella of France, and true love to Loveday, Blood Roses reframes some of the biggest events of the medieval era—not as stand-alone conflicts, but as part of a long-running family feud that would have drastic consequences.

Loyal sister and friend to Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret grew up in the public gaze and was one of the most-discussed women in the world. But what was early life like for the younger sibling of the future monarch? And what role did she carve for herself within the Royal Family?

Years ago, archaeologists excavating near Pompeii unearthed a hoard of Roman treasures, among them a bowl depicting a woman with thick, curly hair and sporting an elephant-scalp headdress. For decades, theories circulated about her identity―until, at last, she was ascertained to be Cleopatra Selene, the only surviving daughter of Roman Triumvir Marc Antony and Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII. Using this discovery as her starting point and creating a narrative from mere fragments in the archaeological record, historian Jane Draycott reconstructs the exceptional life of this woman.

L'8 settembre 2022, a pochi mesi dalle celebrazioni per il Giubileo di Platino, si è spenta a novantasei anni tra le mura del castello di Balmoral in Scozia Elisabetta II, l'ultima grande regina. Perché "l'ultima"? Perché dopo di lei verranno tre re. Perché nessun monarca britannico ha regnato più a lungo.

Die aktuellste Biografie mit Exklusivmaterial aus den Royal Archives. Schüchtern, aber mit stählernem Selbstbewusstsein. Unergründlich trotz eines Lebens in der Öffentlichkeit. Gläubig. Unsentimental. Neugierig. Mit all diesen Begrifflichkeiten ließe sich Queen Elizabeth II. beschreiben. Eine Regentin, die mit stärkeren Veränderungen konfrontiert wurde als alle anderen royalen Staatsoberhäupter der englischen Geschichte. Dabei wurde sie nicht als Thronfolgerin geboren, ihr Leben wurde durch die Abdankung König Edwards VIII. unvermittelt in andere Bahnen gelenkt.

King Edward I was the first of three Edwards who reigned in perfect succession. He was one of the most important kings in English history, but he was also one of the most controversial. This was the king who subdued Wales and fought Scotland to a standstill for much of his reign. He battled leading Scottish figures that are recognizable to even novice history students. Both William Wallace and Robert the Bruce butted heads with this English ruler.

Grâce à une enquête minutieuse dans les archives du règne de Louis II de Bavière, Jean des Cars réussit à percer la personnalité de ce roi longtemps victime d'une réputation injustifiée. Il a édifié des châteaux fantastiques qui exaltent l'éthique de la chevalerie médiévale et le génie de la France du Grand Siècle. Il a sauvé du désespoir et de la faillite Richard Wagner en imposant son œuvre, mais fut finalement contraint d'exiler le musicien au comportement excessivement intéressé.

Il lunghissimo regno di Elisabetta II è la storia enigmatica di una donna timida e inavvicinabile che dell'accettazione del proprio destino, dell'appassionata difesa della corona, ha fatto la suprema ragione di vita e uno schermo impenetrabile. Con un'eccezione: la fotografia, che l'ha accompagnata nel suo lungo viaggio di sovrana e nell'iconografia del secolo. L'unico palcoscenico in cui The Queen, cedendo anche solo per pochi minuti alle leggi universali della luce e alle esigenze pratiche di un ritrattista, si è davvero rivelata.
