Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History Without the Fairy-Tale Endings by Linda Rodríguez McRobbie

3.0

---

A delightful collection of historical vignettes about princesses (and other royalty) with peculiar stories, put together in sections about madness and sex and war and so on. I got half way through, forgot it, and eventually found it again and finished, but it's the sort of book where it doesn't matter if you pick it up and put it down.
