The Angevin Empire (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): Or the Three Reigns of Henry II, Richard I and John

This 1903 history traces the reigns of Henry II, Richard I, and John—the first three great Plantagenet Kings. Their empire covered England, half of medieval France, and Ireland. Ramsay says his work is for “those who ask for facts rather than impressions,” and therefore pays particular attention to the military actions, as well as the political positions of the kings.
