This revised and updated edition provides an account of both the heraldic and genealogical history of European royalty. Starting with the beginning of heraldry in the 11th century, it presents the heraldic shields as well as the genealogy of all the royal families of Europe, past and present. The text, which includes pithy asides, describes the historical background to each royal family tree, and shows how such events are reflected in the make-up of the coat of arms.
