Every little girl wants to be a princess and every tired, overworked woman wishes she were a queen, but royalty isn’t all toy poodles and bon bons…it’s a dangerous profession! Doomed Queens: Royal Women Who Met Bad Ends From Cleopatra to Lady Di is the fascinating true story of some of the most famous and infamous female rulers of history…and how they were eventually beheaded, imprisoned, starved, burned at the stake, etc. Pair it with our Henry VIII Disappearing Wives Mug (Henry has a disproportionate number of chapters in Doomed Queens devoted to his marriages) and you have the start of a great gift basket! Great for history buffs, gore enthusiasts, or anyone who really want to see the rich and powerful get what’s coming to ‘em, this is a great book and an awesome summer read.
