Blair Hoffman

They Never Reigned

Fate has been extraordinarily kind to Britain’s royal family! Would Mary Queen of Scots have gone into exile if Elizabeth 1 hadn’t executed her? If William Adelin, only son and legitimate heir of Henry 1 hadn’t drowned in the White Ship disaster of 1120, would he have been a good king? And which direction would the line of succession have taken if 21-year-old Princess Charlotte, daughter of King George 1, had survived the ordeal of childbirth in 1817? The House of Windsor has a lot to be thankful for! History’s “What If’s” will always have the power to fascinate and Blair Hoffman is the latest author to venture into this territory. They Never Reigned is an engaging romp through history’s possibilities and the men and women who tried but failed to get their hands on the Crown!

“In this highly readable book, the heirs who didn’t make it to the throne turn out to be every bit as interesting as the ones who did.”
