After all, Queen Victoria, that bastion of virtue, had nine children! You'll read about the notorious Catherine the Great , the passionately foolish Marie Antoinette, the destructively willful Tsarina Alexandra, and many more! Some Queens had numerous lovers, others seldom strayed, but all were full&ndash;blooded women who lived &ndash;&ndash;and loved&ndash;&ndash; under intense public scrutiny. And the men who loved these women sometimes gained riches, and sometimes lost their heads. Once again, Eleanor Herman has combined impeccable research while accessibly telling these fascinating stories.</P> 641167 book 1 4 2006 Sex with the Queen: 900 Years of Vile Kings, Virile Lovers, and Passionate Politics (P.S.) total:469|5:101|4:211|3:124|2:24|1:9| 469 1778 907 98 16179 0060846739 9780060846732 401 85 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166719842m/16179.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16179.Sex_with_the_Queen_900_Years_of_Vile_Kings_Virile_Lovers_and_Passionate_Politics 4 2 false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 23 12:28:17 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 24 13:25:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 16179 0060846739 9780060846732 401 85 3.79 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166719842m/16179.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16179.Sex_with_the_Queen_900_Years_of_Vile_Kings_Virile_Lovers_and_Passionate_Politics 3 1 false Sat Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 19:36:25 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 16 18:42:24 -0800 2008
