Nathan Hale, 1776; biography and memorials Book

This is obviously an abridged history from the time of the Conqueror through the death of John. It was dry and read like it was from a history professor (as it was), a rather boring one at that. He often used the royal we, and other phrases such as "about this time…" instead of speaking with authority. Yet he had no problem inserting supposed things that had been said. At least he acknowledged the obvious successes of William, Henry I and Henry II. He clearly loathed John and painted a much better picture of his tyranny than did the previous author that I read did. I'm still looking for something better to read so I can get a clearer picture during this time especially since so much was lost and the signing of the Magna Carta.
