Discover the incredible life of John Ogilby, shipwreck survivor, royal conspirator, and map maker in the first major biography of this forgotten British legend
Alan Ereira is an award-winning British author, historian and documentary filmmaker. He collaborated with Terry Jones on the documentary series Crusades (1995), Terry Jones' Medieval Lives (2004) and Terry Jones' Barbarians (2006), with whom he also co-authored the respective companion books.
‘A spectacular book with a wide range of insights to the 17th
Century’
*Terry Jones*
Ereira is justly proud… situates Britannia in its political
context, connecting it to Charles II’s military purposes and need
to crush rebellion'
*Guardian*
‘Compelling... a terrific subject for a biography... Ereira’s
enthusiasm is infectious [and his] generous biography conveys both
the irrepressible energy and the shifty elusiveness of Ogilby.’
*TLS*
Britannia was created by a cunning Scot, to help the monarch’s
absolute ascendancy over the whole of Britain. The secret is
finally out.'
*Scotsman*
