Read your way through history..

Hello Traveller and welcome to my website ..

It's not finished.. at all .. but feel free to roam around...

 

I dedicated this site to historical novels for now, maybe in the future I will add some biographies.

 

 

I will focus my pages on the English Royal history at this moment because it fascinates me..

 

If you have any questions/suggestions please contact me and/or follow me on social media!

Kind regards,

Esmeralda

Site in progress..

So much time has passed.. I have been doing other stuff that interested me .. but I haven't forgotten this ..

i updated the Plantagents part one page up and to King Edward III , after that I have to figure out how to proceed because things get a bit complicated .. I also thought about creating a Mistresses page to list all mistresses and their novels .. maybe I will create that someday.

 

I posted about a new novel on Eleanor of provence, published this year on my social media accounts .

Been awhile since I was there too . or so I noticed ...

I will do my best to post more frequently since I am still enjoying this very much ...

 

bye for now!

New chapters and new Kings and Queens

I've been very busy, I changed my lay-out and split the royal line in chapters, that will make it easier for me to create new pages.

I made a Anglo saxon and Norman page and made the first creations to the Plantagenets part one..

Check out what to read about Henry 2, Richard 1 and John 1 and of course all their queens..

The Last Norman King..

I added Stepen and his Wife ( another) Matilda of Boulogne..

Because of the unwillingness to folow a female leader the barons of England plunged their people in civil war known as the Anarchy, rightfull heir was Empress matilda but she was still in Normandy at the time of her fathers dead, Stephen crowned himself king saying the old king promised him that on his deathbed ..  and so a long powerstruggle began..

 

I will later add a Attachments page about matilda and her husbands.. because she never was a queen of England .. neither was her second husband Geoffrey of Anjou .. but their son Henry was to be the first Plantagenet king..
