Royal education

the long version

"Most people assume that kings and queens over the ages have generally received 'a good education' - perhaps the best that money could buy at the time. This book investigates the reality of the education of British sovereigns from the beginning of the Tudor period up to the end of the twentieth century." "In tracing the changes in royal education, Peter Gordon and Denis Lawton relate them not only to educational ideas and theories, but to changing political, social and religious contexts through the centuries."--Jacket.
