The Life Of King Edward VII by James Penderel-Brodhurst

The Life Of His Most Gracious Majesty King Edward VII From His Birth To His Coronation with Numerous Illustrations Complete in Four Volumes.

King Edward VII (born Nov. 9, 1841, London, England, died May 6, 1910, London) King of the United Kingdom (1901-1910). Son of Queen Victoria, he attended Oxford and Cambridge and in 1863 married Alexandra (1844-1925), daughter of Christian IX. Noted for his interest in racing and yachting and his sometimes scandalous personal behaviour, he was excluded by Victoria from most affairs of state until he was over 50 years old. He succeeded to the throne on her death, and his reign helped restore luster to the monarchy after her long seclusion as a widow. An immensely popular sovereign, he helped pave the way for the Entente Cordiale with his state visit to Paris in 1903.
