It is well known that, throughout history, royalty have built castles, fortresses and entire cities.However, less consideration has been given to individual monarchs who pursued an interest in architecture and in some cases acted as architects. It is well known that, throughout history, royalty have built castles, fortresses and entire cities.However, less consideration has been given to individual monarchs who pursued an interest in architecture and in some cases acted as architects.Recent research on Gustav III of Sweden (1746–1792) has shown that he was in fact the architect for a number of important building projects.George III of England (1760–1820) also had a great interest in architecture, and his drawings and sketches have been preserved.Louis XIV of France (1638– 1715) was greatly involved in shaping the palace and garden at Versailles. And Stanislaw II August’s (1732–1798) interest in architectural work had a major impact on the neoclassical style in Poland. In this richly illustrated book, a number of scholars provide additional examples and perspectives on the importance of monarchs for architecture and architectural policy.

A Short History of the Tudors
Combining an expertise on the Tudor dynasty with an authoritative understanding of its religious and political make-up, A Short History of the Tudors provides a fresh and accessible perspective of one of the most formative periods of British history. Rex considers the ways in which the Tudors shaped the beginnings of modern England through the momentous break with Rome in a comprehensive yet balanced way.Close attention is also paid to the dismantling of the baronial system and centralisation of secular power, as well as an exploration of the break with Rome, the two pillars on which the author’s argument will rest. The book is organised chronologically and divided up into time periods, making it the ultimate companion for anyone keen to delve into the history of Britain’s most notorious dynasty. The famous and infamous key players in the Tudor age have long endured in text books and are, brought to life here by Rex.Lively portraits of John Fisher, Thomas Moore and Thomas Wolsey and Mary Queen of Scots are painted, as well as the lesser-known players like the flamboyant Robert Devereux.A leading authority on the Tudors and British religious history, Richard Rex brings to life a dynasty which continues to engages and fascinate readers.

Is there a difference between nobility and elegance?
Yes, there is a difference between nobility and elegance. Nobility typically refers to a person's social status or rank, often associated with titles and hereditary privilege. On the other hand, elegance is more about grace, refinement, and sophistication in one's appearance, behavior, or style. While nobility can be a factor in someone being perceived as elegant, elegance can be achieved by anyone regardless of their social status.

An Alternative History of Britain: The Tudors
Continuing his exploration of the pathways of British history, Timothy Venning examines the turning points of the Tudor period, though he also strays over into the early Stuart period.As always, he discusses the crucial junctions at which History could easily have taken a different turn and analyses the possible and likely results.While necessarily speculative to a degree, the scenarios are all highly plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actually events and their context.In so doing, Timothy Venning gives the reader a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might so easily have been different. Key scenarios discussed in this volume include:Did the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck ever have a realistic chance of a successful invsasion/coup?If Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIIIs illegitimate son, had not died young, might he have been a suitable King or at least Regent on the Kings death?What if Edward VI had not died at 15 but reigned into the 1560s and 70s?How might the Spanish Armada have succeeded in landing an army in England, and with what likely outcome?

Coronation : A History of the British Monarchy
The definitive history of coronations and the Royal Family, from acclaimed writer Roy Strong. ’What is the finest sight in the world?A Coronation. What do people talk most about? A Coronation. What is delightful to have passed? A Coronation.’Horace Walpole, 1761 As a boy of sixteen, Roy Strong watched the grand procession carrying Queen Elizabeth II to her coronation.The spectacle was considered the greatest public event of the century.But now, so many years later, many people have little notion of what a coronation is and are unaware of the rich resonances of the ritual, or its deep significance in terms of the committal of monarch to people. This book is the first of its kind – a comprehensive history that sets each coronation into its political, social, religious and cultural context.The story is one of constant re-invention as the service has had to respond to all the changes in fortune of the monarchy or the country: everything from legitimising usurpers to reconciling a Catholic rite to the tenets of Protestantism.It even had to be recreated from scratch after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660.In this way, Strong tells the story of the British monarchy since the tenth century, and looks forward to the coronation of King Charles III.The musical history alone is one of extraordinary richness – involving Henry Purcell, Handel, Edward Elgar, William Walton – plus the celebratory poetry, the art and the spectacular engravings published at coronations are all explored, as is the more recent role of photographers.The book particularly concentrates on post-1603 developments, including the incredible story of the Stuarts, when the crown jewels used for hundreds of years at coronations were melted down as symbols of the hated Divine Right of Kings. As Charles III succeeds to the throne and preparations are made for his coronation, Strong speculates as to the revisions now called for to its ritual and pageantry to meet the changes in the role of the monarchy in the twenty-first century.

What makes elegance?
Elegance is a combination of simplicity, grace, and refinement. It is about being stylish and sophisticated without being flashy or overdone. Elegance can be seen in the way someone carries themselves, in their mannerisms, and in their choice of words and actions. It is a timeless quality that exudes class and charm.

How did the nobility originate?
The nobility originated in medieval Europe as a way to reward and maintain the loyalty of military leaders and landowners who supported the king or other ruling authorities. Over time, these individuals were granted special privileges, such as land ownership, titles, and hereditary rights, which set them apart from the rest of society. This system of hereditary privilege and social status became entrenched over the centuries, leading to the establishment of a distinct noble class. The nobility played a crucial role in the feudal system, providing military service and governance in exchange for land and power.

What happens to the nobility?
The fate of the nobility varies depending on the specific historical context. In some cases, the nobility may lose their privileges and power as a result of social or political upheaval, such as during a revolution or the transition to a new form of government. In other cases, the nobility may adapt and evolve to maintain their status and influence within society. Overall, the fate of the nobility is often tied to broader changes in political, social, and economic structures.

Do you prefer castle ruins, intact castles, opulent palaces, or more sober-looking palaces?
I personally prefer intact castles because they allow me to fully immerse myself in the history and architecture of the structure. Intact castles provide a more complete understanding of the way people lived and defended themselves in the past. Additionally, I enjoy exploring the various rooms and features that are still preserved within an intact castle.
