LOST HEIRS OF THE MEDIEVAL CROWN The Kings and Queens Who Never Were

"Listeners, beware. There are very few happy endings in store," our narrator warns in his introduction to this history of medieval English royals who never made it to the throne. It's a colorful but bloody series of tales. Roger Clark's powerful, richly enunciated narration would in bygone centuries have distinguished him as a bard or court chronicler--and he serves that function here. His grace summons images of vaulted halls and conspiracies hatched in dark stairwells, men and horses in armor, dynasties rising and falling. From William the Conqueror through the Wars of the Roses in 8 hours, this audiobook effectively compresses and illuminates four centuries of British history.
