  • "Vol. 1: Beginnings - This prelude to the series covers the 4,000 years that precede the Battle of Hastings. / Conquest 1000-1087 - In the nine hours which it took to fight the Battle of Hastings, everything changed. Anglo-Saxon England became Norman and its fate was decided. / The Devil's dynasty 1087-1216 - In the years that followed 1066, the Angevin dynasty overcame the legacy of the Conquest: chaos, carnage and famine. / Nations of Britain 1216-1348 - Out of attempts to take away their national identity, the Welsh, Scots and Irish found their voices and expressed their declarations of independence in the face of Edward I's relentless ambition. -- Vol. 2: King death 1348-1485 - This is the story of the Black Death - a squalid disease that killed within a week and a national trauma that utterly transformed Britain. / Burning convictions 1500-1558 - A need for an heir and a desire for divorce led Henry to reject Rome and assert himself as head of the Church in England. This one event triggered the English Reformation. / The Body of the Queen 1558-1603 - This is the story of two queens: Elizabeth - pragmatic, shrewd and cautious - and Mary Queen of Scots - Elizabeth's tragic opposite and the focus of an intrigue that haunted the English queen. / The British wars 1603-1649: Far from uniting the country, Charles I's belief in the Divine Right of Kings divided the fragile elements of his realm. -- Vol. 3: Revolutions 1650-1689 - In the aftermath of Civil War, Britain was a kingless republic led by Oliver Cromwell. / Britannia incorporated 1690-1750 - In 1690s England, the victors of the Glorious Revolution celebrated the dawn of a new era under a new king, William III. / The Wrong empire - How did a people who thought themselves free end up subjugating so much of the world, a nation with such a distrust of armies become the greatest military power on Earth, an empire of the free become an empire of slaves? -- Vol. 4: Victoria and her sisters - Queen Victoria came to the throne at the tender age of eighteen, to rule over a country in the throes of a painful but supercharged industrial transformation. / The Empire of good intentions - The British Empire promised peace, stability and prosperity but in Ireland and India it coincided with violence and famine. / The Two Winstons - A meditation on the place of the past in Britain's 20th-century history."@en
