Edward II (The English Monarchs Series)

Edward II (The English Monarchs Series)

This biography of Edward II does not present him as a heroic or successful king - his deposition after a turbulent reign of nearly 20 years is proof that it went terribly wrong. It does strike a balance, however, taking into account the problems he faced in England, Scotland and Ireland, as well as his relations with France.
