Sex Lives of the Kings and Queens of England

Meer over het boek

Sometimes history is made on battlefields, sometimes in bedrooms. The ribald, raunchy, and sometimes sordid affairs detailed in this humorous but meticulously researched expose of royal sex scandals give a whole new meaning to Shakespeare's famous line, Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Nigel Cawthorne chronicles an unbroken line of sexual misbehavior--and its political repercussions--across the centuries, from Hal the Horny (Henry VIII) to Edward the Caresser (Edward VII) to the present-day antics of the House of Windsor."
