Description

A TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR'A diligent historian and a superb writer'THE TIMESA gripping new history of the making of England as a nation.In December 1642, during the Civil War, Parliamentarian troops stormed Winchester Cathedral and smashed ten beautifully decorated wooden chests to the ground, using the bones inside as missiles to shatter the cathedral's stained glass windows.

Afterwards, the clergy scrambled to collect the scattered remains: the bones of ancient kings, bishops and one formidable queen.Bestselling historian Cat Jarman builds on the ground-breaking work of forensic archaeologists to lead us through more than a millennium of history.

Alongside the cutting-edge investigation to unlock the bones' secrets, this is a thrilling and sometimes tragic tale.

It tells the story of both the seekers and the sought, of those who protected the bones and those who spurned them.
