A Treasury of Royal Scandals
Book 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 is a wickedly delightful look at the most scandalous royal doings you never learned about in history class.
Gleeful, naughty, sometimes perverted-like so many…
Why read it?
1 author picked A Treasury of Royal Scandals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I find the author’s sense of humour on par with my own as I read through the lust, envy, and fury that were a hallmark of these royals. It opened my eyes to what it meant to be a ruling king or queen and just how little they cared about their subjects.
I found those monarchs selected for inclusion truly appalling, made all the more fascinating as they are true accounts.
From John's list on history books for those who like quirky statistics and facts.
