I am a huge history buff and love many things to do with kings and queens and their ruling systems.
I found this book interesting, if a little dry. But the dryness is hard to avoid when writing in a Victorian styled...style.

Accessible, readable, enthusiastic, factually orientated whilst avoiding the cliched myths.

Eight generations of Plantagenets are covered off from 1120 - beginning with the loss of Henry I's heir in the "white ship" disaster - to 1399, finishing up with the death of Richard II.

A firm base camp from which to embark on a reading journey.
