Sex With the Queen 900 Years of Vile Kings, Virile Lovers, And Passionate Politics

The author that the Times called "Sexy, dishy and funny" has penned another sure-fire media hit and a fascinating examination of sex, power, and royalty from the perspective of the Queen's bedroom. In this follow-up to the bestselling Sex with Kings we discover the truth about what goes on behind the closed door of the Queen's boudoir. After all, Queen Victoria, that bastion of virtue, had nine children! You'll read about the notorious Catherine the Great, the passionately foolish Marie Antoinette, the destructively willful Tsarina Alexandra, and many more! Some Queens had numerous lovers, others seldom strayed, but all were full-blooded women who lived --and loved-- under intense public scrutiny. And the men who loved these women sometimes gained riches, and sometimes lost their heads. Once again, Eleanor Herman has combined impeccable research while accessibly telling these fascinating stories.Herman, Eleanor is the author of 'Sex With the Queen 900 Years of Vile Kings, Virile Lovers, And Passionate Politics', published 2006 under ISBN 9780060846732 and ISBN 0060846739.
