Power, faith and empire collide. In Volume II of John Lingard's The History of England, From the First Invasion by the Romans; To the Accession of Henry VIII, a masterly narrative history of England unfolds within a landmark multi volume history collection that traces the story from the Roman invasion of Britain to the dawn of the Tudors. With the clarity of a classic English history book, Lingard charts shifting dynasties, emerging law and the medieval English monarchy with an eye for human motive as well as political design. Written by a classic Catholic historian, this volume stands at the crossroads of scholarship and story. Lingard draws on chronicles, state papers and ecclesiastical records to illuminate the tangled relations of Church and State in England, the rise and fall of Tudor and Plantagenet kings, and the long arc of British history to Tudors. First published in the early nineteenth century, it remains a touchstone for anyone seeking a balanced view of pre-Reformation England. It serves equally well as a reference book for historians, a rigorous yet readable textbook for history students, and a rewarding companion for any reader drawn to the realities behind legend. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
