Download The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England AudioBook Free
The first Plantagenet king inherited a blood-soaked kingdom from the Normans and transformed it into an empire that stretched at its maximum from Scotland to Jerusalem. In this particular epic record, Dan Jones vividly resurrects this brutal and seductive royal dynasty and its mythic world. We meet the fascinating Eleanor of Aquitaine, twice queen and the most well-known woman in Christendom; her boy, Richard the Lionheart, who fought Saladin in the 3rd Crusade; and King John, a tyrant who was simply forced to signal Magna Carta, which shaped the foundation of our very own Bill of Privileges. This is actually the period of chivalry, Robin Hood, and the Knights Templar, the period of the Black colored Death, the Black colored Prince, the founding of Parliament, and the Hundred Years' War.
