Tales of Royal Tragedies Joyce Lamela

Tragedy and the Royal Court. Two metaphors of great contradiction. One manifests disaster, the other demonstrates splendor. However, in the exalted world of European royalty, disaster and splendor often go along. Contrary to the allegory of fairy tales, the lives of royals are far from beautiful legends and happy endings. Back to the old days, the royal houses had series of catastrophic reigns and were plagued by all types of crisis, from political to psychological. Tales of Royal Tragedies book is a compilation of scathing royal intrigues, which includes the long-forgotten saga of the pretenders to the throne and the changes adopted by the modern royals, is beyond history. It exposes the dark side of the royal myth.
