Henry the Second

Mrs. J. R. (Alice Sophia Amelia) Green, nee Stopford (1848-1929) was the author of Henry the Second (1889). "The history of the English people would have been a great and a noble history whatever king had ruled over the land seven hundred years ago. But the history as we know it, and the mode of government which has actually grown up among us is in fact due to the genius of the great king by whose will England was guided from 1154 to 1189. "
