Summary

From Henry VIII dispatching his numerous wives to Edward VIII’s unprecedented abdication, Britain’s monarchs have personally been responsible for shaping some of the most dramatic events in the nation’s history.

Encompassing murder, civil war, adultery, usurpation, and madness, Divorced, Beheaded, Died... relates the extraordinary stories of all of England’s kings and queens, plus some of the less well-known Scots and Welsh rulers.

A bite of kings and queens.

An enjoyable bite of the rulers of England, Scotland and Wales. This book was a pleasant surprise to me as it included some rulers I didn't know. Written and read in a way that engages the listener. A book I'll listen to gain.

fun to listen to, bite size pieces

This was a very enjoyable run through the kings and queens of England and Scotland. As a non-English, it gives me some insights into why certain less popularly known kings are just that - less popular. I liked that it highlights the famous details of each's reigns and that it summarizes the families and eras for easier understanding. I enjoyed the run through and have listened to this twice already - once for the entertainment, and another time for a quick social reference.

Interesting nuggets of information

I found this a really interesting book full of nuggets of useful information. Ideal for people who cant remember what order the kings and queens of England came (and would like to) and just want to know the relevant few facts. I found it really entertaining though as yet I havent listened to the section on Scottish kings ... really must do that sometime lol
