A kind of historical kaleidoscope covering misogyny and all sorts of misconduct and naughtiness in a number of noble circles. The book contains a number of illustrative instances selected from royal families from around the world, all viewed from the mischievous perspective of an ordinary bloke.The tales are portrayed in a satirical manner and the depiction of the particular cases is focused on the more "spicy" aspects of the happenings rather than on the historical importance of the events.
