"The Imperial Crown" by Wilhelm Raabe is an account of German history covering the late middle ages (1254-1517). Excerpt: "On the fifty-third day of the siege, one and a half thousand years after the fall of Rome as a republic and nine hundred and seventy-seven years after Odoacer the Barbarian had exiled the boy emperor Romulus Augustulus to the estate that had once belonged to Lucullus in Catania, Constantinople had fallen. God placed two empires and twelve kingdoms in the hands of the son of Murad, Mehmet the Second. What Christendom in its comatose dullness, tearing itself to pieces in wars of religion and feuds between peoples and their princes, had been unable to defend itself against, had now happened. The great bogeyman had finally arrived."

"Crowns and Scepters" is an investigation of the origins and history of the coronation ceremony that was created on crowning His Majesty King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. The book tells of pageantry, religious significance, and symbolism of the coronation ceremony, mentions some interesting incidents, anecdotes, and oddities connected with coronations, and provides a list of places usually connected with such ceremonies. It also tells stories of royal infants, usurpers, uncrowned kings, and pretenders that don't usually enter the official history of the monarchy.

Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ...peerages had been bestowed on colonists than the baronies of Mount Stephen. Strathcona and Macdonald of Earnscliffe--the last having been conferred on the widow of that remarkable statesman Sir John Macdonald, who would have rejoiced in the imperial significance of the Coronation. Divided from these warriors by the blazoned tabards of a line of heralds was an ornate cluster of high officials and nobles, who by long tradition walked in front of the sovereign. Here was the Lord Mayor of London exercising the ancient privilege of bearing the City Mace in this place of honour. Here was the Lord Great Chamberlain, whose hereditary function of fastening the clasps of the King's imperial mantle had been assigned to Lord Cholmondeley. Nearer the sovereign, the Sword of State in its scabbard was borne by Lord Londonderry, the grandnephew of Castlereagh, and the honour of bearing the most significant symbol on this great day fell to the Duke of Marlborough, who carried the Imperial Crown.1 In this group, surrounding the King, were two other dukes, the antiquity and splendour of whose names made them, in a historical sense, two of the most interesting figures in the pageant. The Dukes of Norfolk and of Somerset were, at the Coronation of King Edward VII., as their ancestors had been when Queen Elizabeth was crowned, at the head of the temporal peerage. Indeed, in her reign they were the sole members of the ducal order, which had otherwise become extinct, and even their titles were under attainder. The descendant of the Protector Somerset, towering above his peers, carried the Orb-, the emblem of world-wide sovereignty, which, since his grandfather bore it before Queen Victoria, had acquired a new significance. The chief of the house of Howard held...

Queen Vashti's name has been tarnished not only by her accusers but for generations to come by the accusations and stigmatization that yet linger in the minds of her readers. A very important factor has been overlooked in regards to Queen Vashti. Today, I challenge every reader to ask, themselves "Since When Does A Queen Wear Her Royal Crown To A Wild Party?" This is paramount information that has been neglected. This book gives a different perspective in viewing her actions. Is Queen Vashti the overlooked Queen who is also a Champion? No one asked the queen her reason for not attending the royal banquet. Her husband did not speak with her; therefore I ask that each one read the story with an open mind and review the facts that are presented in this book. Is she a champion, trailblazer or villain? Should Queen Vashti's memory continue to be tarnished? Is she a catalyst, innovator, a mover and shaker, who refused to allow herself to be diminished as her man downplayed the Royal Crown, that represented power and authority in her face, while saying he was trying to showcase her beauty? By any chance could it have been that she saw through the king's insecure tactics and decided that this day in history would be the day that would be edged into the pages of historians that she stood up and rose to the occasion for females present and for generations to come? Is Queen Vashti, a woman who stepped out of the box to get some fresh air to liberate other women to know this is how to do it regardless if one is at the top? Has Queen Vashti's name been used as a scapegoat to take the focus off, of men wrongful doings? Did she contribute to the king's thinking twice before neglecting or mistreating Queen Esther? Is Queen Vashti an overlooked warrior and liberator who deserve a standing ovation! Are there two heroes in the story oppose to one? Is it now time for Queen Vashti's name to become an honorable name among other great iconic women for refusing to allow anyone to dishonor their position or name. Is it time to honor Queen Vashti for being a woman who would not present to the king wearing her royal crown at an unsuitable event? Is Queen Vashti a woman who could have experienced a life changing defining moment whereby she was willing to risk it all for what she believed! You decide is Queen Vashti a hero, champion, or should her name continue to be vilified and dragged through the mud as, a street thug?

A stunning tour de force and a remarkable achievement.- Alison Weir This is Our Island Story for the modern age. - Charles Spencer 'Not just a brilliant compendium of biographies, but the biography of an institution: a marvellous read' - Tom Holland 'This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle' (William Shakespeare, Richard II) With 1000 years of royal history from 1066 to the present day, Domesday Book to Magna Carta the Field of Cloth of Gold to King Charles' accession, Crown & Sceptre is an unparalleled exploration of the British monarchy. From Sunday Times bestselling author and joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces Tracy Borman, comes a fresh, engaging and authoritative account of the crown's tumultuous history - including a chapter on King Charles III. Impeccably researched, Crown & Sceptre explores in gripping detail how this iconic institution has survived the storms of rebellion, revolution and war that brought most of the world's other monarchies to an abrupt and bloody end. It is a story of ruthless dynastic battles, political and social leadership, usurpation and abdication, all set against a backdrop of dazzling ceremony and pageantry. "Crown and Sceptre shows an astonishing command of a thousand years of the British monarchy, its traditions, roles and realities beyond the pageantry and romance. Beautifully crafted, insightful, and a genuine pleasure to read, it underscores the royal heritage at the heart of a nation." - Lauren Mackay "Crown and Sceptre" combines an eminently accessible narrative with a lucid scholarly lens. Tracy Borman skilfully unravels the trials and triumphs of this ever-shifting institution. By charting both the majesty and mechanics of monarchy, we get a vivid understanding of why its glittering gears shifted over time, and by whom the levers of change were pulled. A triumph.' - Owen Emmerson, Curator at Hever Castle 'Tracy Borman's passion for the British monarch and the crown is infectious and compelling!' - Estelle Paranque 'Borman embraces a huge task' - Gerard DeGroot, The Times Enlightening, gripping and skilfully composed, Tracy Borman navigates the twists and turns of the British monarchy with an expert hand. A pacy narrative that's simply bursting with colour and intrigue, Crown and Sceptre is both powerful and compulsively readable. A masterpiece. - Nicola Tallis
