The Story of Britain from the Norman Conquest to the European Union

Tracing over nine centuries of British history, this illustrated narrative follows the nation from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the late-twentieth-century era of the European Union. It chronicles the lives of kings and queens, major battles and conquests, as well as the discoveries, inventions, and cultural movements that transformed the country. Alongside political upheavals, the book explores how imperial expansion, domestic reforms, and shifting alliances forged the Britain of today.
