Summary :

Aristocracy means "rule by the best." For nine hundred years, the British aristocracy

has considered itself ideally qualified to rule others, make laws, and guide the

fortunes of the nation. Tracing the history of this remarkable supremacy, Aristocrats

is a story of civil wars, conquests, intrigue, chicanery, and extremes of both
selflessness and greed.

Lawrence James also illuminates how the aristocracy's infatuation with classical art

has forged English heritage, how its love of sport has shaped its pastimes and

values, and how its scandals have entertained the public.

Impeccably researched, balanced, and brilliantly entertaining, Aristocrats is an

enthralling history of power, influence, and an extraordinary knack for survival
