All the King's Fathers: The Paternal Ancestry of King Charles III and the House of Glücksburg (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781960736055)

From Saxon to Saxon, history comes full circle.

With the passing of Queen Elizabeth in 2022, the Royal House changed. Though the House of Windsor remained, the reign of the house of Saxe-Coburg und Gotha (the Queen's 'real surname') ended and a new one began.

In All the King's Fathers, esteemed historian Edward Hilary Davis painstakingly examines the patrilineal ancestors of Britain's new sovereign, King Charles III.

The first half of All the King's Fathers traces the historical origins of the British crown, beginning with Alfred the Great, establishing the legacy of the King's mother. The second half follows each paternal ancestor of HM The King from his twenty-fourth great-grandfather through mythical warriors to Scandinavian and even Mediterranean kings.

With scrupulous attention to detail and a passion for English royalty, All the King's Fathers provides an unparalleled understanding of how a man with Saxon, Danish, and Greek roots now occupies the throne of the United Kingdom.
