Trace the origins and lineages of the British royal family, from the fifth century to the present day.

Over the course of 1,500 years, the British monarchy has undergone numerous transformations—from early warrior kings ruling a fragmented land to today’s mostly ceremonial head of state, King Charles III. Timeline of the British Monarchy is a detailed work of visual reference from the founders of the Useful Charts website that traces the lineages of the kings and queens of Great Britain from the Anglo-Saxons of the fifth century to today’s House of Windsor. A giant wall chart shows the lineages of each ruling family, and four additional foldout charts provide further details on the main royal houses. Packed with full-color photos and illustrations, as well as insightful commentary on the most famous monarchs, this interactive book is a wonderful resource for anyone with an interest in the history of Great Britain.
