About this listen

Delve into the tumultuous years of English history with William Holden Huttons insightful narrative, King and Baronage. This engaging work explores the chaotic period of feudal anarchy that erupted after the death of King Henry I in 1135, where his determined daughter, Mathilda, faced off against the ineffectual King Stephen. Hutton paints a vivid picture of the powerful kings that followed, including the formidable Henry II and his successors‚Richard, John, Henry III, and the first two Edwards‚each navigating a landscape fraught with conflict against their formidable barons. A compelling account of power, struggle, and resilience awaits you in this historical gem. - Summary by Pamela Nagami
