Description History of the British Monarchy Diploma  The British monarchy is so linked with Britain and England that its tale is theirs. The crown has seen 61 monarchs, and many others tried to take the crown but have not succeeded. The journey to the crown has never been straight or straightforward. Many have spared their sweat and hard work on battlefields by shedding blood to get to the throne, while others have succeeded through government machinations or overpowering the people's will. The History of the British Monarchy Diploma course dealing with the long story of the British monarchy is divided into ten modules. Each covers a period when a particular house was in power or a single era within the History of the monarchy. The History of the British Monarchy Diploma course gives a timeline that highlights all the paths of those who successfully attained the crown, along with their personal stories discussing them and their journeys to the crown. This course manages to give a riveting history of possibly the most well-known and famous monarchy ever to exist in all of Europe and the globe. The British Isles were discovered during the ancient Iron age, and ever since the discovery of the land, there existed in various people the desire to rule over it. We saw the Celts come, and the Romans too; Saxons and Normans claimed the land as their land by pronouncing themselves rulers, chieftains, and kings. This History of the British Monarchy Diploma course explores the narrative of Britain from the perspective of the people who have sat on its throne. All 61 monarchs that have had the crown have contributed uniquely to weaving the throne's History and the nation's History, making it into today's powerhouse.
