Book Description
“A fascinating study of the also-rans and almost-made-its of medieval history . . . Beautifully written and well researched, it is an engaging read.” —History . . . The Interesting Bits! When William the Conqueror died in 1087, he left the throne of England to William Rufus . . . his second son. The result was an immediate war as Rufus’s elder brother Robert fought to gain the crown he saw as rightfully his; this conflict marked the start of 400 years of bloody disputes as the English monarchy’s line of hereditary succession was bent, twisted and finally broken when the last Plantagenet king, Richard III, fell at Bosworth in 1485. The Anglo-Norman and Plantagenet dynasties were renowned for their internecine strife, and in Lost Heirs we will unearth the hidden stories of fratricidal brothers, usurping cousins and murderous uncles; the many kings—and the occasional queen—who should have been but never were. History is written by the winners, but every game of thrones has its losers too, and their fascinating stories bring richness and depth to what is a colorful period of history. King John would not have gained the crown had he not murdered his young nephew, who was in line to become England’s first King Arthur; Henry V would never have been at Agincourt had his father not seized the throne by usurping and killing his cousin; and as the rival houses of York and Lancaster fought bloodily over the crown during the Wars of the Roses, life suddenly became very dangerous indeed for a young boy named Edmund. “A journey through the minefield of opposing factions fighting for the crown of England.” —Books Monthly

Book Description
Nicoll's History, which tells the story of English drama from the reopening of the theatres at the time of the Restoration right through to the end of the Victorian period, was viewed by Notes and Queries (1952) as 'a great work of exploration, a detailed guide to the untrodden acres of our dramatic history, hitherto largely ignored as barren and devoid of interest'.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1100, Robert, duke of Normandy, the eldest son of William the Conqueror, returned from the Holy Land. He was a hero of the First Crusade, and he was the recognized heir to the throne of England. But his joy was short-lived; as Robert neared his native Norman soil, the news reached him that the king of England was dead and that he had been beaten to the crown by a younger brother. #2 Robert was a very different man from his father. They had one physical similarity, in that they both had William’s burly physique and barrel chest, but Robert inherited his mother’s lack of height. He was given the nickname Curthose in his youth, an epithet that stuck for the rest of his life. #3 Robert, the son of William the Conqueror, was duke of Normandy. He had spent his youth fighting for the duchy, and he was not inclined to let the reins of power slip from his own grasp. He was welcomed both in Flanders and at the court of Philip I of France. #4 The union between England and Normandy had been created by William the Conqueror, who had married Robert’s aunt, but Robert felt aggrieved that he had not been given the greater title. Rufus, having inherited his father’s kingdom and his bellicose temperament, did not see why he should not have Normandy as well as England.
