Overview

This third edition of the Handbook of British Chronology, published by the Royal Historical Society in 1986, is now available from Cambridge University Press. This book has been a standard work of reference for serious students of history since the publication of the first edition in 1941. As well as including lists of monarchs, dukes, marquesses and earls, the book details officers of state and archbishops and bishops for the whole of the British Isles from the Anglo-Saxon period through to 1985. This volume will be of particular use to medieval historians, but will also be a valuable reference tool for students of modern history.
