And they are hardly alone in their undignified demises. But in the end, they spent long nights in dark prison towers and were marched to the scaffold where they surrendered their heads to the executioner.
What did they have in common? For a while they were crowned in gold, cosseted in silk, and flattered by courtiers. Illicit love, madness, betrayal-it isn't always good to be the queen Marie Antoinette, Anne Boleyn, and Mary, Queen of Scots. Complete with a cautionary moral for each doomed queen, this work is a wry tribute to those ill-fated women-one regal demise at a time. Throughout history, royal women have often had a distressing way of meeting bad, often gruesome, ends.
