Description

Aidan Dodson's British Royal Tombs covers all the burials of the kings, queens (and lords protector) of England, Scotland and the United Kingdom, from the occupant of the great Sutton Hoo ship burial, to George VI, last Emperor of India, including of course the long-lost Richard III.

This fully revised edition of a book that became an immediate classic of its kind will be equally interesting to the interested visitor and the student.

The career of each ruler is briefly described, followed by what is known about his or her burial arrangements and the subsequent history of the tomb and its contents.

Each tomb is illustrated as far as possible by at least one photograph or drawing.

The posthumous fate of royal spouses is also included, together with information on each of the cathedrals, churches, chapels and other structures that house or once housed royal tombs; there are detailed diagrams for the major sites.

A list of monarchs, family trees and an extensive bibliography complete the book.
