内容简介
The bad seeds on the family trees of the most powerful royal
houses of Europe often became the most rotten of apples:
über-violent autocrats Vlad the Impaler and Ivan the Terrible
literally reigned in blood. Lettice Knollys strove to mimic the
appearance of her cousin Elizabeth I and even stole her man. And
Pauline Bonaparte scandalized her brother Napoleon by having a
golden goblet fashioned in the shape of her breast.
Chock-full of shocking scenes, titillating tales, and wildly
wicked nobles, Royal Pains is a rollicking compendium of the
most infamous, capricious, and insatiable bluebloods of Europe.
