Title: The Sovereigns of Albion: The Lost Black Dynasty of Ancient Britain Summary: Long before the reign of the Tudors and the rise of the House of Windsor, the British Isles were ruled by a forgotten line of Black royalty. This ancient dynasty, whose roots trace back to the legendary times of pre-Roman Britain, ruled with wisdom, power, and an enigmatic connection to the land. Legends speak of a powerful Queen, a descendant of the great African empires, who united the warring tribes of the British Isles.
