This small book provides an account of the many royal visits to Exeter and is based, according to its author, on "memorials of ancient times" particularly with regard to visits in remote antiquity. Several of the visits were hostile and marked with blood, others were peaceful and happy. Exeter is a city with a very lengthy history, and was a place of consequence to royalty long before the Christian era. Much of the early material is taken from Oliver's History, with new material by Gidley taking the record of visits to the 1860's.
