Book Review of A Treasury of Royal Scandals: The Shocking True Stories of History's Wickedest, Weirdest, Most Wanton Kings, Queens, Tsars, Popes, and Emperors

FeliciaJ avatar reviewed on + 136 more book reviews


"A Treasury of Royal Scandals" offers up fascinating history lessons -- tabloid style. This gossipy book is fun to read although somewhat disjointed. The author jumps back and forth between different monarchs and time periods but includes helpful historical timelines and family trees.
