DOOMED QUEENS recounts the tales of numerous unfortunate queens.
Some of these women died unhappily in exile or imprisoned, while others met more unfortunate ends such as suicide or assassination.
Readers will meet over fifty queens who met their doom. The timeline of queens discussed range from the biblical era of Athaliah to modern day Princess Diana. They are arranged by time periods and drafted in short and often humorous biographical information.
How would their lives have been different if they had been male?
A wonderful, entertaining non-fiction book for those curious about royalty, or a perfect sidekick for a fairy tale or royal novel.
