Synopsis

The Plantagenets, a powerful and influential dynasty, ruled England for over three centuries, leaving an indelible mark on the nation's history. From the reign of Henry II in the 12th century to the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century, the Plantagenets shaped the political, social, and cultural landscape of England.

This book tells the story of the Plantagenets, a family of warriors, statesmen, and scholars who expanded the boundaries of their kingdom, fought epic battles, and enacted groundbreaking laws. It is a story of ambition, power, and conflict, but it is also a story of courage, resilience, and innovation.

We will encounter some of England's most iconic monarchs, including Henry II, the ruthless and brilliant king who forged the Angevin Empire; Richard the Lionheart, the legendary crusader king; and King John, the weak and unpopular monarch who signed the Magna Carta.

We will also meet Edward I, the greatest of the Plantagenet kings, who conquered Wales and Scotland and established the English Parliament; Edward II, the weak and ineffectual king who was deposed by his own wife; and Edward III, the warrior king who led England to victory in the Hundred Years' War.

The Plantagenets were a dynasty of remarkable individuals who left a lasting legacy on England. Their story is one that continues to fascinate and inspire us today.

**In this book, you will discover:**

* The origins of the Plantagenet dynasty and the rise of Henry II
* The Angevin Empire and its impact on English history
* The reigns of Richard the Lionheart and King John
* The struggle for power during the minority of Henry III
* The reign of Edward I and the conquest of Wales and Scotland
* The deposition of Edward II and the rise of Mortimer
* The reign of Edward III and the Hundred Years' War
* The Peasants' Revolt and the reign of Richard II
* The usurpation of Henry IV and the Lancastrian dynasty
* The Wars of the Roses and the end of the Plantagenet dynasty

**The Royal Legacy** is a comprehensive and engaging account of the Plantagenet dynasty, a story that is both epic and intimate, tragic and triumphant. It is a story that will appeal to anyone interested in English history, medieval history, or the stories of powerful families.

    The Gaslighting of America - How...

    In the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on the American people. Having seemingly appeared out of the ether, it has destroyed industry, family values, marriage, family relations, work ethic, morality, education, health care, independent thought, and the very basis of reality itself- language and the definitions of words. Its reach is all encompassing, with no stone left unturned. The American people are lost in a thick, heavy haze, dazed and confused at the completely alien world around them. How did we get to this point? How did nobody see it coming? Who is responsible? 
    “The Gaslighting of America” explores how the elite, the authorities, and the mainstream media have conspired to deceive the American people. Through the use of gaslighting, a psychological manipulation technique, they have created a false reality that serves their own interests, while undermining the very foundations of American society.

He outlines various methods of speech delivery, discusses the importance of imagination and emotion in oratory, and provides practical exercises to enhance vocal strength and articulation. The book also addresses common obstacles such as stage fright and unstructured discourse, offering strategies to overcome these challenges.

    As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion―over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told. 
     
    In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices. 
     
    Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.

    In 63 BC, frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate, a stormy debate that led to their execution, and the defeat of Catiline and his legions in battle. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these events, Sallust's The War with Catiline. 
     
     
     
    In a taut, jaw-dropping narrative, Sallust combines juicy details about Catiline and his louche associates with highly quotable moral judgments and a wrenching description of the widespread social misery they exploited. Along the way, we get unforgettable portraits of the bitter and haunted Catiline, who was sympathetic to the plight of Romans yet willing to destroy Rome; his archenemy Cicero, who thwarts the conspiracy; and Julius Caesar, who defends the conspirators and is accused of being one of them. Complete with an introduction that discusses how The War with Catiline has shaped and continues to shape our understanding of how republics live and die, this volume makes Sallust's gripping history more accessible than ever before.
