This richly illustrated talk traces the lineage of the British monarchy, the longest authenticated family history in the world.
You will encounter many kings and queens in this talk, but you will not always follow the crown as it passes peacefully, or violently, from one head to another.
Indeed, I will lead you around familiar periods of history like the Wars of the Roses and the Tudor and Stuart dynasties. They are incidental to this story, for they were times when seed and crown parted company for whole centuries, before coming together again.
