[Machine Translation] Why do the lives of kings and queens from distant times and places stick with us? King Ludwig II was troubled by the question of succession because of his homosexuality. Queen Maria of Alexander III, who had to witness the end of a great dynasty that lasted three hundred years. Carlos IV, whose desperate exile is even comical. Caroline Mathilde, imprisoned for the man she loved. This is the second volume of the historical reading series that unravels the lights and shadows of the royal families with the help of famous paintings and photographs.
