  • More about Edward II (Penguin Monarchs): The Terrors of Kingship


Edward II was inept in war, was imprisoned, and murdered, leading to a succession of disasters during his reign.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 160 pages
Publication date: 04 July 2019
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd


Edward II's reign was marked by a series of catastrophic events, showcasing his ineptitude in warfare and his reliance on favorites, particularly the young nobleman Piers Gaveston. Instead of engaging in the responsibilities of governance, he preferred indulging in leisurely activities such as drinking, driving carts, and rowing boats. This indulgent lifestyle led to his downfall after a span of twenty ruinous years, culminating in his imprisonment and tragic murder. This captivating book offers a profound insight into the dark and perilous world of kingship, shedding light on the terrifying consequences of such power.
