Notorious Royal Marriages: A Juicy Journey Through Nine

Notorious Royal Marriages: A Juicy Journey Through Nine Centuries of Dynasty, Destiny,and Desire

From the author ofÂ American Princess:Â The Love Story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry comesÂ a funny and delightful history of the royal weddings and marriages of Europeâ‚¬s most famousâ‚¬"and infamousâ‚¬"monarchs.

â‚¬Å“An irresistible combination ofÂ PeopleÂ magazine and the History Channel.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Chicago Tribune

Since time immemorial, royal marriages have had little to do with loveâ‚¬"and almost everything to do with diplomacy and dynasty. Clashing personalities have joined in unholy matrimony to form such infamous couples as Russiaâ‚¬s Peter II and Catherine the Great, and France's Henri II and Catherine de Mediciâ‚¬"all with the purpose of begetting a male heir. But with tensions high and silverware flying, kings like Englandâ‚¬s Henry II have fled to the beds of their nubile mistresses, while queens such as Eleanor of Aquitaine have plotted their revenge...

Full of the juicy gossip and bad behavior that characterized Royal Affairs, this book chronicles the love-hate marriages of the crowned heads of Europeâ‚¬"from the Angevins to Charles and Diâ‚¬"and ponders how dynasties ever survived at all.
