{"product_id":"9781623655914","title":"The Plantagenets: The Kings That Made Britain","description":"Plantagenet is the name given to the English royal house descended  from the union of Queen Matilda of England and her second husband  Geoffrey of Anjou. The name derived from Geoffrey's nickname, which came  from the sprig of broom (planta genet) which he wore in his hat. The  Plantagenets ruled England for more than three hundred years, from the  accession of reign of the dynasty's founder, Matilda and Geoffrey's son,  Henry II, in 1154, to the death of the last Plantagenet, Richard III,  at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. \u003cbr\u003eThe Plantagenets: The Kings That  Made Britain is a compelling, year-by-year chronology of a tumultuous  and critical period in the development of the English nation. Each year  is covered by a concise, informative and accessible narrative, amplified  by extensive quotation from contemporary sources and accompanied by  generously captioned and stunning images of the period-including  illuminations, portraits, maps, royal seals, tapestries and other  artifacts.  Authoritative, informative and sumptuous, and compiled by a scholar  who is steeped in knowledge of the period, The Plantagenets: The Kings  That Made Britain brings a critical era of English history dramatically  and vividly to life. It is the perfect gift book for anyone with a love  of, or fascination for, medieval English history.
