A true bawdy romp through history and what royal ladies had to contend with in their husbands, chosen for them usually for the sake of alliances. These husbands generally turned out to be less than desireable, leaving the queens to find love elsewhere...and they usually did. Very entertaining look into the past. Not much has really changed in the world :-)

Very well written and extremely fascinating. Herman does a wonderful job detailing the lives and liaisons of Europe's queens. Her writing is vivid and really paints a picture of what it was like in these royal courts.
