- Royalty – Meet the kings, queens, princes, and princesses.
- Arthur – A terrific account of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the many engaging legends.
- Archaeology – See the ruins of ancient castles, abbeys, and churches and virtually examine artifacts.

- Adversaries – Learn about ancient warring Celtic tribes.
Click on any one and a new page opens with a menu that allows you to explore the topic in depth through text, illustrations, and pictures.
