The Plantagenets

With ancestry mostly from northern Europe, especially the British Isles, I've always been somewhat interested in the English monarchs. And because my own ancestors on my father's side came from Lancashire, I've always sided with the Lancastrians in the Shakespeare plays about the War of the Roses. Henry IV was the first Lancastrian King, though, preceded by the Plantagenets, and it's important to understand the period 1154 to 1399. This book–which I listened to, but also had access to a print copy including maps and family trees–was fascinating and very easy to follow.
