A brilliant and informative history that rescues from an undeserved obscurity the lives and times of King Edward's grandchildren, "Edward I's Granddaughters: Murder, Power and Plantagenets" by Louise Wyatt is an extraordinary and inherently fascinating study that is a particularly and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library British Royal History/Biography collections. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of students, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in British Royalty that "Edward I's Granddaughters: Murder, Power and Plantagenets" is also readily available in a digital book format.

This goes far beyond what the title suggests, offering detailed analysis of marriage, contraception, abortion and much more. Offering case studies of individual experiences brings such depth to this book, too. It’s very well written and will appeal to many readers, including those who may balk at non-fiction.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
From the way they talk, to the things they sued over an even the wages people got it seems like everything was so different in the 14th century in London. There were lawsuits over people blocking the light into their homes and even contracts that state it is unlawful to do so people were hung for stealing clothing and murdered for defending a woman. I love historical nonfiction in this book on London and the people in the 14th century was so interesting. I just know I will read it again and can’t wait to share it with my husband. The summary I gave isn’t it all in a nutshell there is much much more and all compelling it will make you shake your head in disbelief. What more can I say this book is very interesting and I highly recommend it to any history fan especially if like me you love British history.
