The Royal Tombs of Great Britain: An Illustrated History (ISBN 0715633104)

illustrated survey of all of Britain's royal tombs:
Surprisingly considering England's attachment to the monarchy, there has been no comprehensive guide to the royal tombs--until this one. Dodson locates all of the known tombs of Britain and Scotland's long line of kings and queens of the varied kingdoms before they were united into the one United Kingdom and after they were when there was a single line of monarchs. With this, he gives notes on the historical background of each monarch, including his or her burial, and on "post-internment history," which sometimes includes movement of the body to another resting place. Surveying the lives and burials of the numerous monarchs, "Royal Tombs..." can also serve as a guidebook to the burial places. There's just enough material for the historian looking for basic information and for the curious tourist. A teaching fellow in archaeology and anthropology at the U. of Bristol, Dodson has written previous books on the pyramids and royal families of Egypt.

THIS BOOK COMPLETES THE STORY:
Finally a book that completes the very final story on the various Kings of Great Britian. Normal biographies end with their death. This book takes you beyond that - not just where the kings were buried - but what happened afterwards. An excellent read start to finish - and well illustrated too! Would have been nice to have a selection of colored photographs - but what's available will do. For anyone interested in the subject - I highly recommend this book. You will not be disappointed.
