History reveals England’s most famous monarchs (but not King Ralph)

In light of the recent shenanigans with King Gyanendra, it seems fitting that History Channel's new series, Monarchy, will premiere Sunday, February 13 at 8 p.m. Hosted by renowned British royal historian David Starkey, Monarchy chronicles the drama and turmoil of Europe's oldest surviving political institution. Beginning with England's emergence from the dark ages, the six part series brings to life a few of social and religious injustice's greatest hits including, the Crusades, the Norman Conquest and the plague.
