Blurb
Fascinating and authoritative of Britain's royal families from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I to Queen Victoria, by leading popular historian Alison Weir 'George III is alleged to have married secretly, on 17th April, 1759, a Quakeress called Hannah Lightfoot. If George III did make such a marriage...then his subsequent marriage to Queen Charlotte was bigamous, and every monarch of Britain since has been a usurper, the rightful heirs of George III being his children by Hannah Lightfoot...' Britain's Royal Families provides in one volume, complete genealogical details of all members of the royal houses of England, Scotland and Great Britain - from 800AD to the present. Drawing on countless authorities, both ancient and modern, Alison Weir explores the crown and royal family tree in unprecedented depth and provides a comprehensive guide to the heritage of today's royal family – with fascinating insight and often scandalous secrets. 'Staggeringly useful... combines solid information with tantalising appetisers.’ Mail on Sunday

Mary Boleyn
Children of Henry VIII
The Queen of Nothing
Keeps the court intrigue, succession plots and usurped thrones, but as dark fae fiction with a romance at its center rather than documented genealogy.
Throwback
Trades royal history for personal history: a teen literally revisits her mother's past, lighter and funnier, with family lineage still the hook.
The way you make me feel
Family legacy and inherited expectations again, but contemporary, comic, and focused on a daughter's romance instead of dynasties.
How to Write a Love Story
Also about tracing a family secret across generations, though cozy and YA, with letters and love stories replacing archival record.
