Book Reviews of The Plantagenet Chronicles
Book Review: A must for all fans of this wacky Medieval family
Summary: 4 Stars
What puzzles me is why people never acknowledge that Plantangent blood runs through Enlish royalty all the way through Jame I and beyond. The family name may have changed, but the same genes that gave Henry II his firey hair and disposition engendered the same characteristics in Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The "dynasty" lasted for over 500 years. Not many could equal that.This book is a wonderful combination of how their comtemporaries viewed the Plantagenets (and of course they were totally impartial), and little sidebars to fill in the historical flavor of the time. A great combination. I was especially interested in the stories of two kings you don't hear much about. Stephen I, who preceded Henry II, and John I (evil Prince John of Robin Hood fame.) I believe those are the only two names in English royal history to be used only once.
