The Plantagenet Socialite by Jan-Marie Knights

Murders, mayhem and bloody struggles, warring families and deeds of chivalry and love are disclosed in tales from more than three hundred years of English history. Follow the Peasants Revolt, Glorious Agincourt, War of the Roses and the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and let this book transport you back in time to give a Socialite's view of the monarchs and their courts, their loves, their scandals, their tragedies and passions of those distant characters we call 'the Plantagenets'.
'Historians of any of the Plantagenet kings will find this a useful resource to track the events of royal reigns' -- The Medievalists, November 2023
