One was a married American socialite who embarked on a scandalous affair with the future king of England. Another was an aristocratic ingenue whose winsome charm captured the world’s imagination. And the third was a thirty-something actress whose outspokenness put her on a collision course with the British public. The marriages of Wallis Simpson, Diana Spencer, and Meghan Markle into the British royal family sparked a series of crises that at times seemed to threaten the future of the monarchy itself.

Catalina de Aragón, esposa de Enrique VIII y reina de Inglaterra, es un personaje sorprendente y esencial para comprender un capítulo importantísimo en la historia de Europa: la separación de Inglaterra de la Iglesia de Roma. Hija de los Reyes Católicos, se trasladó a Inglaterra a los dieciséis años para casar con el príncipe Arturo, cuyo matrimonio, por oscuras razones que en parte se desvelan en este libro, no llegó a consumarse. Viuda y virgen, casó con Enrique VIII, hermano de su difunto esposo, ambos profundamente enamorados como queda patente en este relato.

Juana I la Loca (1479-1555), reina de Castilla de 1504 a 1555, era hija de los Reyes Católicos. De acuerdo con la política exterior de su padre, contrajo matrimonio con el archiduque Felipe el Hermoso, primogénito de Maximiliano I. En 1504 aparecieron los primeros síntomas de enajenación mental, que se acentuaron a la muerte de su esposo en 1506. Su vida estuvo llena de intrigas y luchas por el poder. Esta referencia, puramente histórica, no explica el extraordinario y dramático destino de esta reina, a quien el pueblo llano tituló «doña Juana la Loca de amor».

Königin Elisabeth II. von England: Leben und Werk in einer Kurzbiografie! Alles, was man wissen muss, kurz und knapp. Infotainment, Bildung und Unterhaltung vom Feinsten.

An unforgettable literary masterpiece written over 200 years ago by a remarkable woman during the struggle and fall of Europe's first attempt at a constitutional democracy. A coming-of-age story, love drama, and historical saga all in one, it unfolds more like a novel than an authentic memoir. Despite its epoch, the highs and lows of Countess Anna's journey reverberate with timeless issues that still affect us all today. This courageous young woman wrote down extraordinarily visceral details of the horrendous experiences she was living through between 1791 and 1795

Karel IV. měl pohnutý život. Dětství strávil na pařížském dvoře, později se ocitl na italských bojištích, jeho cesta na trůn nebyla lehká a musel vzdorovat protivníkům i po dobu své vlády. Vládl v nesmírně složité době, kdy proti sobě neustále stály různé zájmy, denně musel činit nelehká, a přitom zásadní rozhodnutí. František Kožík popisuje panovníkův vztah k českým zemím, přibližuje zákulisí jeho diplomatických jednání s evropskými vládci, zabývá se i pozadím jeho čtyř sňatků.

Filippo ed Elisabetta. Due vite, una coppia. Una storia d’amore che s’intreccia con la storia del Novecento e l’attualità, iniziata nell’estate del 1939 quando Elisabetta aveva tredici anni e Filippo, nato principe di Grecia e Danimarca, diciotto. Era un cadetto navale, ma anche il nipote di Lord Louis Mountbatten. Un amore celebrato nella Londra post bellica con il Royal Wedding del 1947. Un uomo che per seguire il cuore ha rinunciato a molto, dato battaglia all’establishment, cercato con tenacia un ruolo. Grazie a Filippo, la «Firm» dei Windsor si è aperta al mondo, al suo tempo.

Esta foi uma das imagens mais tocantes do século XX: dois jovens, dois príncipes, caminhando atrás do caixão da mãe, enquanto o mundo acompanhava os eventos com tristeza – e horror. Conforme Diana, a Princesa de Gales, era sepultada, bilhões de pessoas se perguntavam como se sentiam, e o...
