Lions of the North by Ralph Percy
Lions of the North tells, from a unique and personal perspective, the stories of the Percy family and Alnwick Castle over a thousand years of British history. Generations of Percy barons, lords, earls and dukes played vital parts in great historical events, from the Norman Conquest to the two World Wars, and the castle, once battered by marauding armies, is now a major tourist attraction. The Duke has drawn on his unparalleled access to the Percy archives to paint this fascinating portrait of a British dynasty and its survival against the odds.
'The present volume.. presents the family story for a wider audience, in clear sensible prose. It's a worthwhile and enjoyable chronicle.' - John Martin Robinson, Country Life
Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland, was born in Alnwick Castle. A keen historian and photographer, Lions of the North fulfils his ambition to update, expand and illustrate his grandfather's earlier history of the Percys and their castle.
