Drawing on unpublished letters and rare primary sources, King and Woolmans tell the true story behind the tragic romance and brutal assassination that sparked World War I In the summer of 1914, three great empires dominated Europe: Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. Four years later all had vanished in the chaos of World War I. One event precipitated the conflict, and at its hear was a tragic love story. When Austrian heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand married for love against the wishes of the emperor, he and his wife Sophie were humiliated and shunned, yet they remained devoted to each other and to their children. The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and a century of conflict. Set against a backdrop of glittering privilege, "The Assassination of the Archduke" combines royal history, touching romance, and political murder in a moving portrait of the end of an era. One hundred years after the event, it offers the startling truth behind the Sarajevo assassinations, including Serbian complicity and examines rumors of conspiracy and official negligence. Events in Sarajevo also doomed the couple's children to lives of loss, exile, and the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, their plight echoing the horrors unleashed by their parents' deaths. Challenging a century of myth, "The Assassination of the Archduke" resonates as a very human story of love destroyed by murder, revolution, and war.
Of all Queen Victoria's nine children, none was more intriguing than her second daughter, Alice. The contradictions in her personality are so striking that, while she has often been overshadowed by her more illustrious brother, King Edward VII, and her brilliant sister, the German Empress Frederick, she remains to this day an enigma, the depths of whose character are virtually impossible to penetrate. By the time of her premature death at the age of only thirty-five, Alice had lived through two wars, had lost two of her children, and had exhausted herself in her devotion to duty to the extent that she suffered from disillusionment almost to the point of despair. Nonetheless, in the final tragic weeks of her life, she met unimaginable grief with courage and serenity, and her last words demonstrated her ultimate redemption and the beautiful restoration of all she had loved and lost.

In this book I have systematized little-known facts of biography of last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, related, in particular, the predictions and prophecies, which he has received during his life, and has built these facts in one time line - in result the surprising picture has opened. The surprising picture has allowed completely on new (completely on new is not exaggeration ) to look at a history of his reign, his character, a life and destiny. Nicholas II tried to overcome a Fate many times: in 1899 (the Hague peace conference); then (most decisively) in March, 1905 (an attempt to abdicate and to head the Russian Orthodox Church); and then again and again but he could not. His attempts to overcome a Fate are the main essence and content of this book.
Many years have passed since the death of Princess Diana (31 August 1997), but this tragedy still attracts attention and hurt the hearts of people. Many authors have investigated the mysteries of this tragedy, and the secrets of ancestry of Princess Diana. Some authors claim that her bloodline (by branches of the Stuarts) comes from the mysterious Merovingian from the early Middle Ages - and the Merovingian bloodline supposedly dates back ... to a son of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. From a Christian perspective, it is certainly heretical hypothesis. The author of this brochure puts forward a different hypothesis, which is compatible with Christian doctrines. The study of mysticism matches of various aspects of tragedy the death of Princess Diana and analysis of what is known about Mary Magdalene - all this led the author to unexpected conclusions that confirm the origin of the Merovingian (and the bloodline of Princess Diana) of the kings of ancient Israel, David and Saul, but the author's conclusions are compatible with Christian doctrines. *** Author BORIS ROMANOV Born in 1945 in Leningrad (St.Petersburg), Ph.D (the candidate of sciences), the writer. The author of 10 books, including Zoroastrianism and Christianity (1994), The Occult Bulgakov (1995), The Apocalypse 2008-2173 (1996), Astro-Biblos (1996), Tragedy of Princess Diana (1998), Russian mags and seers (1998), The Story about Apostles, Ponty Pilat and Simon-mag (1999) and Fatal Predictions of Russia (2006) and The Emperor who knew the Fate.
