They trace their roots back to Edric the Wild, an Anglo-Saxon lord who lived in Shropshire at the time of William of Normandy. On my mother’s side, I am a direct descendant of the Weld Family of England. The man has not one, but two flowers named after him!) Why I chose this particular book was it was recommended to me by my local librarian as being a good overall look at the Plantagenet Kings & Queens of England and I am interested in this era of history as it relates to my own family on my mother’s side. I have read Antonio Fraser’s biographies of Marie Antoinette and Louis XV (both I highly recommend), a good biography on Washington Irving that I may re-read and review on this blog at some point, as well as other non-fiction things that relate to Science (especially to Dinosaurs and Geology). First, I must state that people think I only read history books that relate to Jane Austen and the 19th Century. I have all ready reviewed this book on Goodreads but they only give you so much space and this book really does deserve a much more indepth review.
