The last plantagenets thomas b costain5/24/2023 The three famous and sometimes notorious Edwards followed him.Īll four books are welcome additions to my library on English history. We do find out that much occured in his reign. Compared to the other Henrys he is an obscurity. In Magnificent Century we learn of King Henry III. What was welcome in this particular volume was reopening the case of Richard III guilt or lack of thereof in the death of the princes in the Tower. Costain had his theory as well in the first bookThe Conquering Family. The death/assassination of Thomas a Becket has many speculations. It made me want to do more research on the events in question. Why? these books,of which The Last Plantagenets is the fourth, read more like novels than a dry chronicle of events. I would go so far as using it as an introduction to English history. Thomas Costain 4 book series on England's Plantagenet Dynasty is a must read for history enthusiasts.
