The History Press

This book is more than a biography of kings and queens; it is an encyclopaedic work on every aspect of monarchy in Britain from semi-legendary times to the present day. With over a thousand entries and two hundred illustrations, the Companion covers not only the historical aspects of royalty but also the traditions that have evolved around it, from Maundy Money to the Coronation Ceremony, and from the royal insignia to the Orders of Chivalry. 
Arranged in an A-Z format, the Companion includes biographical essays on each of the forty-two kings and queens who have ruled since the Norman Conquest, details of the royal lines in Scotland before the Act of Union, the background to the royal houses of Britain and the consorts, largely foreign, who have married into the monarchy. It also deals with royal pretenders such as Monmouth, Simnel and the Old and Young Pretenders, with commoners who have had an influence on the monarchy - whether as lovers, mistresses or advisers - and with campaigns and battles in which monarchs took an active part. Royal scandals, ceremonies, households, tombs and the insignia of royalty complete this book.

Sutton

The story of Gibraltar is one of siege, starvation, plague, and battles interspersed with periods of peace. The colony's civilian population is made up of a rich and complex racial mix of exiled Jews, French royalists, Maltese merchants, emigrants from India, and Genoese fishermen who fled Napoleon. This history provides the background to a unique community and a chronicle of a remarkable chapter in British military history. Even now, the future of the tiny territory is still uncertain. An important RAF base, it is a fragment of Britain's imperial past set uneasily in the territory of a fellow member of the European Union apparently eager to reclaim it. Gibraltar's dramatic history is far from over.
