Bloody Kings and Killer Queens of London

Více o knize

There's no doubt about it, London has always attracted a better class of royal killer. After all, they get big viewing figures for executions of their enemies (and they say today's TV is dumbing down). And just think about the facilities at the Tower of London - it's a torturer's paradise.But just how bloody were these monarchs? Among other favourite royal baddies, you'll find:- Henry VIII: Husband from Hell, or just a man with a big heart?- Richard III: Murdering uncle or misunderstood softie?- Elizabeth I: Vengeful harpie or brilliant babe?- Bloody Mary: Say no more, or mixed-up kid?- King John: Rotten ruller or just a shortie with a height complex?With body counts and torture tellies for each king and queen, you can decide for yourself which one was the capital's most murderous monarch.
