Challenge yourself!
This is a delightful story, and usually, those who don't care for it had difficulty understanding it.Give this story a try, and remember the audio is a great option to get familiar with the pronunciation and the story before reading it on your own.It would be a shame for you to miss out on this great story because of the previous thoughtless review.

Save Your Money
This book is so poorly written, it almost seems like a 10 year old wrote it. I found
nothing remotely accurate or even interesting about it. As a great (etc...) granddaughter of Duke Richard, I cannot endorse this book in any way. Save your money on this one! ... Read more

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Chapters: Richard Iii of England, Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester, Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester, Duke of Gloucester. Excerpt:HRH Prince Richard , the current Duke of Gloucester Duke of Gloucester (pronounced / dju k v l st r/ ) is a British royal title (after Gloucester ), often conferred on one of the sons of the reigning monarch. The first four creations were in the Peerage of England , the next in the Peerage of Great Britain , and the last in the Peerage of the United Kingdom ; this current creation carries with it the subsidiary titles of Earl of Ulster and Baron Culloden . The title was first conferred on Thomas of Woodstock , the thirteenth child of King Edward III . The title became extinct at his death, as it did upon the death of the Duke of the second creation, Humphrey of Lancaster , fourth son of King Henry IV . The title was next conferred on Richard Plantagenet , brother to King Edward IV . When Richard himself became King, the dukedom merged into the crown. After Richard's death, the title was considered ominous, since the first three such Dukes had all died without issue to inherit their titles. The title was not awarded for over 150 years, the next to receive the dukedom being the son of King Charles I , Henry Stuart , upon whose death the title became officially extinct. William , son of Queen Anne , was styled "Duke of Gloucester" for his whole life (1689 1700), but was never created Duke. Frederick, Prince of Wales was styled "Duke of Gloucester" from 1718 1726, but was then created Duke of Edinburgh rather than of Gloucester. The next actual creation was for the brother of George III , Prince William Henry , the full title being "Duke of Gloucester an... ... Read more
