Golden Sovereigns and some of lesser value from Boadicea to Elizabeth II

Nicolas Bentley

4.8/5 ( ratings)

"It is difficult, because of the mists of time and so forth, to say who was actually the first king of England, but most authorities seem to plump for Boadicea. And this is strange when you come to think of it, because despite the well-known insularity of British People, they have always shown a penchant for being ruled by foreigners. True, there has not yet been a Japanese king of England, or an Israeli, but no doubt the future will take care of this, for in the past we have had monarchs who came from Scandinavia, France, Germany, Holland, etc. So Nicaragua, what's keeping you?"
