This got me thinking is there a book for every monarch in English\British History, so staring with the books i have read i thought I'd begin mapping this out. Partly out of interest but i'd also be quite interested in your recommendations about how to fill out the rest of the monarchs as yet uncovered.
I'll start by covering the period from William the Conquer and Henry the 8th, for no particular reason but they seem like 2 note worthy kings.
William 1st 1066-1087
William 2nd 1087-1100
Henry 1st 1100-1135
- Pillars Of the Earth - Ken Follett
