First of all, it's a history of England - Scotland and Ireland are barely mentioned.
No continuity of the narration, more like a patchwork of events that the author deemed worthy to be described.
The War of Roses - mentioned in one sentence.
The One Hundred Years War - barely a paragraph.
Some kings are dwelled upon in (unnecessarily) great detail, others simply skipped, barely mentioned.
Overall - do not recommend.
