Dynasties of the World by John E Morby
A reference guide to most of the major monarchies of the world from ancient Egypt to the present day. The main text consists of chronological tables in broad geographical groupings, setting out monarchs' names and years of rule with their titles, authentic sobriquets and inter-relationships. Details of abdications, interregnums, regencies and co-regencies are also included. Supporting notes discuss chronological sources and problems, calendars and dating systems, margins for error for disputed or uncertain dates, and names and titles. In addition, there are bibliographies for each section, documenting the main works consulted and pointing the way to further research. The work is intended primarily for historians and other professionals who require accurate information about dynasties, though its layout may make it of interest to a wider range of readers.John E. Morby, Professor of History, California State University, Hayward John E. Morby (1939-2010) was Emeritus Professor of History at California State University, Hayward, where he taught from 1969.
