The shocking true stories of history's wickedest, weirdest, most wanton kings, queens, tsars, popes and emperors. From the debauchery of Tiberius to the sloth of George IV, Michael Farquhar takes listeners on a roller-coaster journey through the history of monarchs and despots and graphically illustrates the maxim that "absolute power corrupts absolutely."
This anecdotal account is both amusing and illuminating and suggests that a constitutional monarchy is probably not such a bad idea.
