Lines of Succession - Louda and Maclagan
For anybody interested in the genealogies of the European royal families, this is a must own. The genealogical tables are clear and easy to read and understand, and surprisingly comprehensive for such a monumental work. The heraldic badges included on the family trees also bring the book to life and add a bit of interest to the tables. The discussion on the practice and use of heraldry is a bonus, although I bought the book for the genealogy. Accompanying the genealogies are brief histories of the royal families, which are a good addition.
