内容説明
A humorous survey of regal bungling throughout the ages. Regan, author of "The Guinness Book of Military Blunders", presents an irreverent collection of tales of royal indignity. He celebrates the gaffes and peccadilloes of the blue-blooded, from the absolute rulers of the classical and medieval periods to the constitutional monarchs of the House of Windsor. Presenting a varied colllection of princely portraits, this is a "warts and all" expose of a range of decidedly undignified royal events, from calamitous coronations to farcical funerals, from grand occasions mismanaged to love affairs mishandled. As well as laying bare the turbulent private lives of kings, queens, kaisers and caliphs, the author examines the sometimes baleful influence that they have exercised on the political and social life of their time.
