Narrated by Tamsin Greig.
This two-part series tells the story of the three monarchs who reigned over Europe's Greatest powers at the outbreak of the First World War - Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and King George V of England. The emerging divisions and rivalries between the inter-related houses of Europe brought change, tragedy and personal humiliation. While it was war that delivered the final blow, this fascinating series shows how the rot had set in much earlier and how the European royals contributed to their demise. Monarchy, for centuries the prime form of governance in Europe, would be finished as a serious political force.
