The Alarming History of European Royalty

Royal Babylon

Kathy Jedrzejczyk

There were a lot of crazy facts in this book, but not having a good historical knowledge really kept me from enjoying this book fully. Also, the way that it is organized is hard to follow. The author jumps around sometimes. Other times he just assumes you know certain things that probably not many Americans know. There should probably be a special edition that is published in the us with a glossary or appendix to give details of how royalty works and give some historical background. I ended up learning a lot, but only because I looked a lot of things up as I went along.
