James H Ramsay Sir: 3 books

This 1903 history traces the reigns of Henry II, Richard I, and John—the first three great Plantagenet Kings. Their empire covered England, half of medieval France, and Ireland. Ramsay says his work is for “those who ask for facts rather than impressions,” and therefore pays particular attention to the military actions, as well as the political positions of the kings.

The houses of Lancaster and York fought civil wars for the throne of England for almost a century. The efforts of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Joan of Arc all included in this volume; the book also presents the War of the Roses, a conflict that encompassed the papal schism and war with France.
