Royal Babylon: The Alarming History of European Royalty
Karl Shaw
During the last three hundred years, Europe has been plagued by severely dysfunctional rulers: the feeble-minded kings of Spain, the psychopathic kings of Prussia, the alcoholic czars of Russia. And of course, various kings and queens of England could be described as "all of the above".
Royally dishing on decades of this dubious behavior, Royal Babylon chronicles appalling antics throughout history that rival an Aaron Spelling television series. Whether Romanov or Windsor, with extravagant lifestyles financed by their badgered subjects, these impenetrable dynasties spawned drunken tyrants, rampant adulterers, and inbred lunatics. Taking us into the bedrooms, ballrooms, and brothels where our cast of characters bided much of its time, Karl Shaw delivers guffaw-inducing scenes that bring the outrageous facts vividly to life.
From wedding-night horrors that sometimes followed ghastly arranged marriages to the disease that embedded itself in the tangled web of royal genetics, this unabashed account reveals the mire of the monarchy in all its scandalous splendor.
