This is an edition that incorporates the latest works published on the monarchs of the dynasty and on the events carried out by them. It also differs from the previous edition by the contribution of abundant graphic material from the author's archive and the result of his travels through England to visit the places related to The Plantagenets and with maps and family trees to better understand the complex family relationships of the branches of the dynasty.
An edition with a very careful presentation, from the cover (the work of Pedro Viejo on a manuscript by Mateo de París that represents the first four kings of the dynasty) to an original layout, through its binding and the location of the graphic material, not grouped at the beginning, middle, or end of the book, but with each photo or each tree where its related topic is discussed, so the reader doesn't have to look back or forward pages. All this with the intention of transmitting the author's passion for this period of English medieval history and making him enjoy reading and the visual content of the work.
Some examples serve as an example:
- The chapter dedicated to Edward I includes various photos of the castles he built in Wales to conquer the country.
- Family trees. In the image, that of Juan de Gante, head of the houses of Lancaster and Beaufort and from whom the Tudors and the royal houses of Castile and Portugal also descend.
- For those readers looking for a reference source for specific events or characters in the book, each chapter is divided into sections that can be consulted in the index. A glossary of characters and events is also included, specifying the page on which they are cited.

SYNOPSIS
The Plantagenets is a journey through the history of one of the most famous dynasties in England. Although not all their kings are always identified with this name, who has not heard of Richard the Lionheart? And of Juan sin Tierra? Although it is possible that the name Eduardo I is little known, if you talk about the bad guy from Braveheart, everyone will surely put a face to him. Among the most famous works of Shakespeare are Henry V or Richard III. And who has not read a book or seen a movie or series about Joan of Arc, William Wallace, Thomas Becket, Saladin, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry Tudor or Robin Hood?
The Plantagenet were the protagonists of all these events, some kings who were present in the crusades, in the Hundred Years' War, in the War of the Roses or in the civil wars of the 14th century for the throne of Castile.
An entertaining book that covers medieval England with passion and narrates one by one and from all points of view the reigns of the monarchs of this English dynasty, from the time they ascended the throne in 1154 until they were deposed by the Tudors after the battle of Bosworth in 1485. A dynasty that wrote the medieval history of England, Great Britain and Europe and that personalizes better than anyone the saying that reality is stranger than fiction. The fascinating story of a movie dynasty.
This new revised and expanded edition incorporates the results of the latest published works on the Plantagenets. It is also enriched with abundant illustrations (maps and family trees) and with numerous graphic material from the author's archive and the result of his travels through the places where the history of the Plantagenets was written.
