The Plantagenets by Dan Jones

The Kings Who Made England

A brisk narrative account of the Plantagenet dynasty from its 12th‑century origins through centuries of conquest, political upheaval and familial rivalry, tracing the ambitions and downfalls of kings, queens, barons and rebels. It highlights landmark events — the sealing of Magna Carta, royal power struggles, the Hundred Years’ War and the dynastic conflicts that culminated in the Wars of the Roses — blending vivid character portraits with military and political drama to show how the dynasty shaped and ultimately unraveled medieval England.
