A Treasury of Royal Scandals

Michael Springer

I read this one years ago, in just about the perfect setting for reading anything: while riding trains in Scotland. Well, I guess some of it was on planes, and probably some in hotels and hostels. Anyway, I can't separate the book completely with the fact that it was one of the two books I read while in Scotland. (The other one was a Wheel of Time book.) 

This was the most entertaining book of history I've ever read, full of bizarre and fascinating stories about royalty that really go to show why incest should remain taboo.

Livro perfeito para quem gosta de livros de história meets revista maria. É só escandaleira daquela opulenta e ordinária que ninguém faz ideia. Vale a pena.
