Reddit reviews The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England

I recommend reading The Plantegents it’s an easy to read book that isn’t that dry most of the time.

This is a great book for the mid to later medevil period that came out recently, that I enjoyed. It ties together a lot of history that you know with what you don't.

Knights, kings, clashing houses, evil queens, battles, betrayals, bastards, marriage pacts, etc...

These may be non-fiction, but they positively reek of ASOIAF and are a good read besides.

Pretty good book about the Plantagenets who ruled England (and at times parts of Ireland, Scotland and Wales) during the time period you're talking about.

I don't think I'd be able to really stay updated, I never do with that sort of stuff. But, I have a reading list that you should add- that is if you are doing payed books:

For full on historians looking for depth in medieval subjects:

-Asbridge's The Crusades is a far better Crusades history that goes into good depth than any other I've read

-Morris' The Norman Conquest oncemore just a great book for depth and detail

-Jones' The Plantagenets this one I would avoid if you hate sensationalism in history, Dan Jones is a real historian and he writes it as a real historian but he's on the edge of being more entertainer level than educator level

-Moore's 2008 edition of The Formation of a Persecuting Society is definitely the best analysis of medieval heresy I've read

(+ for more details into his actual thought process and the full counter argument to his critics that came out against him later on )

For casual historians looking for analysis and shorter reads:

-Phillip's Holy Warriors is probably an overall better analysis than Asbridge but far less deep, if you like battles go for Asbridge but this is a far shorter read

-Asbridge's The Greatest Knight good book on the Plantagenets through the eyes of the knights

-Golding's Conquest and Colonisation a slightly more boring read, maybe go with the "A short introduction to" book isntead

-Pegg's A Most Holy War for lighter reading on medieval heresy
