The April 29 wedding of Catherine Middleton to Prince William of Wales affords us an opportunity to look back on other royal marriages~~ the good, the bad and the ugly (link from the Internet Public Library).
Ask us if you’re interested in books about the Royals (or anything else of course, just ask!)~~ for example
Henry VIII’s consort Anne Boleyn
Matilda of Flanders (consort to William the Conqueror)
Eleanor of Aquitaine and other Medieval queens
Maria Fitzherbert (George IV stabbed himself when she refused his proposal of marriage)
Edward, Duke of Windor (the one who abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, a commoner, who thus became Wallis Warfield Windsor)
