From ancient Rome to Edwardian England, from the lavish rooms of Versailles to the dankest corners of the Bastille, the great royals of Europe have excelled at savage parenting, deadly rivalry, pathological lust, and meeting death with the utmost indignity-or just very bad luck.Hide synopsis

Reviews of A Treasury of Royal Scandals: The Shocking True Stories of History's Wickedest, Weirdest, Most Wanton Kings, Queens, Tsars, Popes, and Emperors
Has some interesting facts I didn't know about, but I don't know if I can trust their veracity since there are so many errors in this shallowly written book. Not as interesting as it could be and has amazingly short chapters.
