Description
From Nero’s nagging mother (whom he found especially annoying after taking her as his lover) to Catherine’s stable of studs (not of the equine variety), here’s a wickedly delightful take a look at probably the most scandalous royal doings you never learned about in history class.
Gleeful, naughty, infrequently perverted-like such a lot of of the crowned heads themselves-A Treasury of Royal Scandals presents the most productive (the worst?) of royal misbehavior in the course of the ages. From ancient Rome to Edwardian England, from the lavish rooms of Versailles to the dankest corners of the Bastille, the good royals of Europe have excelled at savage parenting, deadly rivalry, pathological lust, and meeting death with the maximum indignity-or simply very bad luck.
