Since time immemorial, royal marriages have had little to do with loveand almost everything to do with diplomacy and dynasty. Clashing personalities have joined in unholy matrimony to form such infamous couples as Russias Peter II and Catherine the Great, and Frances Henri II and Catherine de Mediciall with the purpose of begetting a male heir. But with tensions high and silverware flying, kings like Englands Henry II have fled to the beds of their nubile mistresses, while queens such as Eleanor of Aquitaine have plotted their revenge
Full of the juicy gossip and bad behavior that characterized Royal Affairs, this book chronicles the love-hate marriages of the crowned heads of Europefrom the Angevins to Charles and Diand ponders how dynasties ever survived at all.
