The chronology of British history

This guide to Britain's past covers not only the "signpost" dates: reigns, battles, treaties, voyages of discovery and social movements - but also the key landmarks in the worlds of drama, music, popular entertainment and fashion. In addition to the chronology, which forms the basis for the book, it also includes a series of some 50 lists covering everything from monarchs (English and Scottish) and prime ministers to Nobel prizewinners and social and economic statistics.
