Henry III
Reign: 1574 - 1589
Concurrent English Monarchs:
Elizabeth I (1558 - 1603)
The publisher claims this is the first English language study of Henry III since 1858. The ‘bad kings’ often are fertile ground for re-assessment and this study is no exception. This is a thoroughly academic ‘political history’ biography and one of the premier works in this catalogue. It was published as ahardback only - but is also available as a Kindle book from Amazon in Britain and the USA (but grossly overpriced at about £30.00 and US $45 respectively), and used copies of the hardback are very expensive to purchase.
