Keywords Mistress, Scandals, Late 1800's
Book Summary : The Mistresses: Domestic Scandals of Nineteenth-Century Monarchs tells of the scandals that rocked the courts of Europe’s monarchs in the late 1800s. Each mistress—from Queen Victoria of England to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany—left her mark on history with tales of extravagant spending, illicit affairs, and even murder. Betty Kelen, a historian and author of several books on women in history, weaves together the stories of these women to paint a vivid portrait of an era of great change.
