Renowned historian and presenter David Starkey reveals the complex and intriguing world of England’s royal rulers in the critically acclaimed television series, Monarchy.

Family drama and constitutional history are shown to be inextricably linked, with what happened in the bedroom and on the battlefield changing the political institutions that govern us to this day. In his own inimitable style, David Starkey brings these tales of power, lust, treason and murder to life to examine just what the English monarchy has meant, and the legacy that can still be felt not only in Britain, but across the world today.
