The story of the United Kingdom's kings and queens-filled with everything from power plays to romance-continues to enthrall us today. In this fascinating book focusing on the monarchs, their relatives, and their realms, you'll explore milestones (such as: Queen Victoria oversaw Great Britain during a period of tremendous technological, political, and social change) along with other details (like this: she was vehemently opposed to efforts to win women the right to vote). These are just a few of the entertaining facts you'll find in Kings & Queens (Little Books About Big Things): ? Buckingham Palace, the Royal Residence in London, has 775 rooms, including 19 State rooms, 52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. ? Richard the Lion Heart was King of England for ten years, but he barely spent ten months of that time in the country and he didn't speak the language. ? When Henry VIII died, he was buried next to his third wife, Jane Seymour, who was the mother of his only son, who became King Edward VI. ? King Charles II, a notorious womanizer, is remembered as the "Merry Monarch." ? When George III died without a child eligible to become the monarch, his brother became King William IV, the oldest man ever to become King of England. ? King Edward VII is credited with helping to bring about the Entente Cordiale of 1904, a treaty of political friendship with France that set the stage for the alliances that would dominate 20th-century Europe. ?
