The Royal Tombs of Great Britain

the long version

"In this copiously illustrated book, Aidan Dodson provides a concise digest, largely based on primary source material, of all that is known about the various sepulchres of the rulers of Great Britain down to the present day. Entries include a very brief biographical note on the tomb's owner, the circumstances of death, the architecture and decoration of the tomb, and its post-interment history. The book also includes summary details of the burials of royal consorts, of the Stuarts in exile, and of foreign monarchs buried in Great Britain. A final appendix lists and describes the principal chapels, churches and mausolea that contain royal tombs."--BOOK JACKET.
