*King Henry VIII’s\u00a0six marriages in which he had two wives, Anne Boleyn and\u00a0Catherine Howard,\u00a0beheaded;<\/p>\n

*Emperor Franz Joseph and his cousin bride Empress Elisabeth (Sisi)\u00a0of Austria whose marriage started out with promise but became cold and impersonal after the tragic death of two of their children and her eating disorder;<\/p>\n

*Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra of Russia whose love story ended when they and their five children were killed during the Russian Revolution;<\/p>\n

*British ruler King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson’s marriage in which\u00a0the ruling monarch gave up the British crown to marry\u00a0the twice divorced American.<\/p>\n

Each couple\u00a0has their\u00a0own chapter so it is easy to\u00a0for you to skip around the book easily, too.\u00a0\u00a0You may think you know many of these stories, but Carroll adds new information that\u00a0makes\u00a0it difficult to\u00a0put the book down!<\/p>\n
