"The Demon's Brood:A History of the Plantagenet Dynasty," by Desmond Seward.  Was browsing through the history section at the library and it looked good.  Mainly because I know a lot about Tudor and Stewart history, but not before then.

There was also a good book I just read comparing Shakespeare's history plays to the actual history.   Was fascinating.

Oooooh, name? That sounds right up my alley!

Took me a bit but I found it!  "Shakespeare's kings : the great plays and the history of England in the Middle Ages, 1337-1485" by John Julius Norwich.  Was a great read, and the author is a little snarky.  Made it even better.
