In the third drily hilarious volume of A Comic History Of England, we move forward to the thirteenth century, when a succession of Edwards and Henrys gain the throne and immediately use it to steal everything they can from the population, in order to fund attempts to conquer France (or pay their debts from conquering England). Along the way we get the fabled Black Prince, one of the greatest battles in English history, a queen far more powerful than her king or sons, and a consideration of the manners and condition of the English period up to this point in the history.

Covers:

Henry The Third, Surnamed Of Winchester.

Edward The First, Surnamed Longshanks.

Edward The Second, Surnamed Of Caernarvon.

Edward The Third.

Richard The Second, Surnamed Of Bordeaux.

On The Manners, Customs, And Condition Of The People.
