Unruly: A History of England's Kings and Queens by David Mitchell
A history of British monarchy up to Elizabeth, filled with humor and not so much majesty. History without pain or boredom. These people were often quite pious but not very nice. They varied widely in their ability to rule but excelled in killing as needed, or even not needed. A wonderful essay on the greatness of Shakespeare caps off the reign of Elizabeth I. An enjoyable excursion.
