Autor Dr Michael R. Evans

A king's death was a highly dramatic moment, often with major political consequences. This is an account of what is known about the deaths of medieval kings, whether natural, violent or accidental. It shows how contemporaries and later writers, including Shakespeare, drew morals from such deaths and about the characters of individual kings.

Caracteristici

Evans taps into an important but under-studied area of scholarship: the meaning of various royal deaths, both at the time and for subsequent chronciclers, historians and dramatists. The book's approachable format consists of a brief history of medieval monarchs, followed by thematic assessments of their modes of death. It gives particular attention to Shakespeare's history plays as a response to such events. Includes a chapter on English queens, their deaths and posthumous reputations.
