This is the history of the men and women who occupied the highest position in English, and later British, society. From Richard IIIs infamous life and death, to Henry VIIIs wives, Charles Is execution and Queen Victorias exceptionally long reign, their dramatic story unfolds within the pages of this book. For about a thousand years they were superior lords, the leaders of a nobility which ruled, and for about three hundred years thereafter they were sovereigns, whose servants ruled in their name. Now, with the rise of democracy, they no longer rule. The Queen is a symbol and a social leader, vastly experienced in the ways of the world, and the head of a family that strives to be useful in a modern community. The records of the monarchy vary from one period to another, and many of them are political in nature. However, it is always necessary to remember the human being behind the constitutional faade. This is an attempt to recover their identities.
