From the mists of medieval England to the consolidation of the Tudor crown, The Kings of England: Ever Since It Was So Called presents a remarkable chronicle of English monarchy, compiled by two of the Elizabethan era's most distinguished heralds, Robert Glover and Thomas Milles. Originally conceived as a definitive record of England's royal lineage, the work catalogues each sovereign with the meticulous care of men who lived and breathed the heraldic traditions of the age, offering readers an intimate, authoritative window into the pageantry, succession, and dynastic drama that shaped a nation. Edited with scholarly precision by Derek Parker and introduced by Nigel Ramsay, this beautifully produced Folio Society edition breathes new life into a text that stands as a primary source of English constitutional and dynastic history. Ramsay's introduction situates the work within the rich tradition of Tudor antiquarianism, illuminating the political and cultural forces that drove men like Glover and Milles to preserve royal memory in ink and parchment. For collectors, historians, and lovers of English heritage alike, this volume raises a timeless question: what does it truly mean to be a king of England?
