The Plantagenet Saga is one of Victoria Holt’s most ambitious projects, covering roughly three centuries of English history across 15 novels. Beginning with The Plantagenet Prelude, the series follows the dynasty from Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine through the crusades, the Hundred Years’ War, and the Wars of the Roses.
Each book focuses on a different period or figure within the dynasty, making the series work both as a continuous saga and as individual historical novels. The Plantagenet era is rich with conflict, from family rebellions to foreign wars, and Holt uses her character-driven approach to make the political complexities accessible to general readers.
