Description
The title of the book is already telling – in this publication, we learn about royal offspring and their marriages, and skeletons will be pulled from the closets of the most famous English monarchs. Were the "princes of the Tower" illegitimate children? Did Henry VIII really have six wives? How much of a virgin was Queen Elizabeth I really? Was James, Duke of Monmouth, the heir to the throne or just one of Charles II's bastards? Did George IV marry a German princess or a Catholic widow? Did Queen Victoria become "Mrs. Brown"? These questions are explored in the context of broader connections: how love and marriages were in the English royal family and how wedding ceremonies developed in England in general. How were royal brides chosen? Did royal brides use magic? Where and how did weddings take place in the past? Answers to these and other fascinating questions can be found in this book.
