Historical books & movies recommendations

[joe_77]

Howdy all!

Been on an UK-related streak lately and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a narrative-like book that goes over all the various monarchs that Britain had over the years? Not looking for an encyclopedia but more of a bedtime reading material. 

Same request for some movies/series that covers monarchs and their reigns (like "the crown", etc).

Thanks a lot!

I enjoyed the series Victoria, and you can’t get a better bit of Cate Blanchett than in her role as Elizabeth I.

Also I thought The King was great, a series about the rise of Henry V

The King's Speech about George VI is excellent as well.
