In this sequel to the bestselling Sex with Kings, Eleanor Herman reveals the truth about what goes on behind the closed door of a queen’s boudoir. Often trapped in arranged marriages with virtual strangers, many royal ladies found solace in the courtiers, soldiers and clergymen who flocked to the courts of Europe.
In Sex with the Queen, Herman reveals the tantalizing truth about the crowned heads of Europe: Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, whose transgressions — real or imagined — were seen by Henry VIII as punishable by death; Catherine the Great of Russia, who had her husband murdered and then seized both the throne and her pick of lovers; and Marie Antoinette, whose love for Swedish count Axel Fersen could not save her from the guillotine. Impeccably researched, Sex with the Queen chronicles history’s most fascinating and scandalous royal dalliances. New York Times bestselling author and historian Eleanor Herman graduated from Towson State University with a degree in Journalism. She has worked for numerous international publications, most recently as Associate Publisher of NATO’s Nations and Partners for Peace. She is married and lives in McLean, Virginia, where she researches and writes about women’s history. “A lot more fun than Danielle Steel or Dan Brown.” — Washington Post Book World
