THE ROYAL COMMISSION ON HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPTS 

The Commission was set up by Royal Warrant in 1869 to enquire and report on collections of papers of value for the study of British history in private hands. In 1959 a new warrant enlarged these terms of reference to include all British historical records, wherever situated, outside the Public Records and gave it added responsibilities as a central coordinating body to promote, assist and advise on their proper preservation and storage. The Commission has published 239 volumes of reports. It holds a further 41,000 unpublished reports in the National Register of Archives, which are available for consultation in the public search room. It also maintains the Manorial Documents Register on behalf of the Master of the Rolls, and ARCHON, the gateway for archivists in the UK and repositories with manuscript material for British history.

DIRECTORY OF ROYAL GENEALOGICAL DATA.

the ROYALTY IN HISTORY site.

This is a series of short biographies of the personal lives of history's mad monarchs, sadistic sultans, terrible tsars, crazy caesars and deranged dukes. In history sovereigns were raised with the idea of being a representative of God on earth. The absolute power they enjoyed often brought out the worst features of their character. Many royals had egocentric, megalomaniac and paranoid tendencies and displayed a lack of empathy for their subjects. This series deals with the personal lives of royals in history who developed extreme forms of these and other mental conditions. Their mental state can range from severe psychotic and psycho-organic disorders to light neuroses and personality disorders. Often their contemporaries described them as mad or melancholic and although some royals in this series were perhaps not exactly mad, they certainly were peculiar.
