Description

Royal Dates with Destiny is a collection of short vignettes describing the deaths of the worlds aristocracy. It is presented in «calendar form, with at least one entry for each day of the year. Based on a number of scholarly sources per entry, these 400 or so «summaries of mortality» give an idiosyncratic and delightfully bizarre historical overview of the surprising ways in which the worlds most powerful have died. Each month contains at least a couple of famous royal deaths, yet more often than not the royal will be less well known, yet no less fascinating.
