註釋
Chronicle of the Royal Family is a unique and compelling record of the longest-surviving and best-loved royal family in the world. From Alfred the Great to Elizabeth II, kings and queens have shaped the destiny of the British Isles. This book recaptures the full, thrilling drama in the distinctive Chronicle style that brings history to life as never before. Lavishly illustrated throughout, this book reports events of the past as though they had just happened. It is a saga not simply of power struggles, political intrigues and the rise and fall of empire, but also of personal joy and tragedy, heroism and scandal. It is also right up to date, highlighting the private and public lives of today's royal family ... Special features of this book are a gazetteer detailing the principle palaces and royal residences, past and present, and a wallchart depicting the royal family trees of Great Britain from 840 to the present day. This book is a lively and authoritative work of reference for people of all ages. It rekindles memories of great events and serves as a lasting celebration of one thousand years of royalty.--Book jacket.
