Publishers Description: From medieval conqueror to Renaissance autocrat to Victorian Empress to modern melodrama, Royal Panoply is the story of some of the most fascinating people in world history.With her trademark blend of probing scholarship, lively prose, and psychological insight, Carolly Erickson focuses on each monarchs entire life---from the puny, socially awkward Charles I, to the choleric, violent William the Conqueror, to the well-meaning, deeply affectionate Queen Anne, who was so heavy she had to be carried to her coronation. Royal Panoply recaptures the event-filled, often dangerous, always engaging lives of Englands kings and queens, set against the backdrop of a thousand years of Britains past.
