Authors

The following is an acknowledgement of the authors of the English Monarchs series titles, their books and the year of publication and, where known, their professional website - plus some others.

Honourifics have been omitted. Seeing so many Doctors and Professors in the lengthy list of this faculty of academics is quite overwhelming.
