Think again.In UNRULY, David Mitchell explores how England's monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects' destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky sods who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits.Taking us right back to King Arthur (spoiler: he didn't exist), David tells the founding story of post-Roman England right up to the reign of Elizabeth I (spoiler: she dies). It's a tale of narcissists, inadequate self-control, excessive beheadings, middle-management insurrection, uncivil wars, and at least one total Cnut, as the population evolved from having their crops nicked by the thug with the largest armed gang to bowing and paying taxes to a divinely anointed king.How this happened, who it happened to and why it matters in modern Britain are all questions David answers with brilliance, wit and the full erudition of a man who once studied history - and won't let it off the hook for the mess it's made.A funny book about a serious subject, UNRULY is for anyone who has ever wondered how we got here - and who is to blame.Read by David Mitchell.©2023 David Mitchell (P)2023 Penguin AudioLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 141mmItem Length: 138mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 241gAuthor: David Mitchell, Penguin AudioContributor: David Mitchell (Read by)Genre: BiographyTopic: Humour & Joke Books, HistorySubtitle: A History of England's Kings and QueensNarrator: David MitchellType: RoyaltyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
