Some of the royal ladies found in this volume were more sinned
against than sinning. As to others, there is no doubt as to the
category in which they belong. Catherine de Medici ranks as one of
the great villains of history, but the author contends she was
innocent of most of the crimes of which she has been accused.
Catherine the Great has little to commend her, especially in the
line of private morals, but it must be admitted she left a profound
impression upon her times. Other subjects discussed are: Mary,
Queen of Scots, a subject of endless controversy; Louise de la
Valliere, mistress of that gay monarch, Louis XIV; Maria Theresa;
Marie Antoinette; Josephine; Bloody Mary of England; Sophia of
Hanover; Christina of Sweden; and Caroline of Brunswick.
