<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From Nero's nagging mother (whom he found especially annoying after taking her as his lover) to Catherine's stable of studs (not of the equine variety), here is a wickedly delightful look at the most scandalous royal doings you never learned about in history class. <p/> Gleeful, naughty, sometimes perverted-like so many of the crowned heads themselves-<b>A Treasury of Royal Scandals</b> presents the best (the worst?) of royal misbehavior through the ages. 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Michael Farquhar is a writer and editor at the <b>Washington Post</b> specializing in history. He is the author of the bestsellers <b>A Treasury of Great American Scandals</b> and <b>A Treasury of Royal Scandals</b>.
