Edward II by Seymour Phillips
Edward II (1284-1327), King of England, Lord of Ireland, and Duke of Aquitaine, was the object of ignominy during his lifetime and calumny since it. This biography does not present Edward II as a heroic or successful king: his deposition after a turbulent reign of nearly twenty years is proof enough that it went terribly wrong.-

"'Seymour Phillips has written an absorbing blow-by-blow account of the follies and misfortunes of this dark and depressing interlude in English History' (Chris Given-Wilson, Times Literary Supplement) 'Phillips takes us deftly through the twists and turns of Edward's eventful career.' (Nigel Saul, History Today) 'Written by a distinguished expert for the prestigious Yale Monarchs series.' (Will Robinson, The Spectator) 'This massive deeply nuanced biography draws out not only the King's own contradictions but the political pressures and diplomatic tensions he had to contend with.' (Michael Kerrigan, The Scotsman)"
