Title: More for History geeks than the casual reader
Review: I read this book as a followup to the excellent book on Robert Bruce by Ronald McNair Scott, since I figured it would be historically apropos. Though the volume contains many interesting facts, these are buried in minutiae that can be trying for any student of history. I found the book too expansive in its coverage, getting lost in the tedium of the administration of the kingdom, with in-depth detail of finances, land, titles, and minor characters. Rather than returning to the book often in eagerness to finish, I instead found myself trying to get in a chapter here and there more as a chore just to finish it so that I could go on to reading some of my other books. In short, I only recommend this book to someone that would relish the many, many details of a well-known English monarch from around the turn of the 13th century.
