Description
Read about stories behind fascinating sagasand weird biographies of Kings and Queens.
Here are three examples of some of the insane stories you will see in this book.
• Fact One: Drink with your Father
King Albion, the Lombards ruler renowned for his extraordinary conquests, took the daughter of the King of the Gepids as his wife after defeating her father in battle. Instead of treating her fairly, he would occasionally taunt her with his victory. He fashioned her father's skull into a drinking goblet and forced his new wife, Rosamund, to drink wine from it, saying, 'drink with your father.' She got her revenge by arranging for his assassination.
• Fact Two: The Black Emperor
Many people don't know this, but Rome was once ruled by a black emperor who originated from the part of Africa that is now modern-day Libya.
• Fact Three: Daemonologie
In 1597, King James VI of Scotland (also King James I of England) wrote and published a book titled 'Daemonologie.' Through the content of his book, King James attempted to convince the public of the existence of black magic, necromancy, and witchcraft in the kingdom.
These and many more are some of the exciting stories covered in the various chapters of this book.
