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.
