| Publisher Description: What constituted a secret or a scandal in times gone by? This entertaining title in this new series gives an overview of the times and attitudes to "secrets," and what was meant by a "scandal." This book uncovers revelations of royal bedchambers, courts, spies and plots, financial scandals, dynastic tangles, and the exploits of both regal villains and so-called saints. From the rule of absolutist kings to the more prudish Victorians, scandals can be linked to many a royal personage with often dramatic impacts on reigns and history. Exposing the secrets of both the private and public lives of these past rulers, Royal Secrets & Scandals guarantees to amuse and surprise. |
