This is a great reference book!

A very concise and complete guide to crowned families of Europe with dates of birth, reign and death. A great reference, countries are alphabetized from Albania to Westphalia. I have looked everywhere to find a complete reference of the French rulers and this is the only book I have found that provides it- surprisingly. I believe the book is out off print, but I was able to find it used.
