David Starkey - Monarchy - The Complete Series Details

A thoughtful look at Britain's early monachy

David Starkey has done a fine job in this sudy of the origins of the monachy in Britain .

Covering a period from the fall of the Roman rule to Henry VI, Starkey keeps the story moving at quite a pace but still manages to communicate in his almost school masterly manner, the details of how our monachy evolved.

Although this is not a multi million pound production the series has some interesting re-enactments which give life to Starkey's narrative.

Overall a good, entertaining and educational prodution.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Excellent

If you are looking for thorogh factual history David Starkey fits the bill. His approach is serious and in-depth and historically comprehensive as to be expected from the eminent historian.

Having read several of his works, the ducmentary is an excellent addition, having missed the series when aired on Channel 4.

Definitely a must for history enthusiasts.
