Our family thought they were fishermen, from the lowlands of Scotland. This book is the story of our discovery, a shocking and magnificent discovery.

And yet we know so little about medieval England’s greatest enemy.

Gennem syv år fulgte han den danske kronprins som en skygge. Fem skridt efter ham, men i tankerne altid to foran. Hele tiden parat til at træde frem og tage kuglen, hvis den skulle komme. I bogen fortæller Jesper Lundorf om at nedkæmpe sin modstander uden kamp, om krisestyring og konflikthåndtering. Og om altid at forvente det uventede.

Dall'incontro con William al fastoso matrimonio, dalla nascita dei tre figli alle tante occasioni in cui ha concretizzato il suo impegno a favore dei bambini e delle persone che soffrono di disagi psichici, dal burrascoso rapporto con i cognati Harry e Meghan fino al toccante annuncio della malattia. Un gesto, quest'ultimo, che non solo ha cancellato d'un colpo i pettegolezzi, ma ha anche messo in luce il suo coraggio e la sua umanità, avvicinandola ancor di più alla gente comune.

This new edition of a classic royal biography includes an account of the discovery of Richard’s remains in a Leicester car park in September 2012 and what his skeleton revealed about the physical condition of the last Plantagenet and the manner of his death.

La «scalata» di Anna Bolena inizia con un periodo trascorso in Francia, come damigella della regina. Al suo rientro in Inghilterra Anna si era trasformata in una splendida dama di corte, prezioso oggetto di scambio per le ambizioni del padre. Ma neppure lui poteva immaginare quale sarebbe stato il futuro della ragazza che, dopo aver infiammato il cuore del re Enrico VIII, lo sposò nel 1533 e gli diede una figlia, Elisabetta, destinata a diventare la più grande regina della storia inglese.

Thrust from a pious life on the path to become a nun, at the debauched court of Charles II she set about recreating the world she’d left behind – a world where women were highly educated, exercised power and celebrated art and artists with concentrated patronage.
