Since 1066 when William the Conqueror took the throne, English and
Scottish kings have sired at least 150 children out of wedlock.
Many were acknowledged at court and founded dynasties of their own;
several of today's dukedoms are descended from them. Others were
only acknowledged grudgingly or not at all. In the 20th century
this trend for Royals to father illegitimate children continued,
but the parentage, while highly probable, has not been officially
recognized. This book is a genuinely fresh approach to British
kings and queens, examining their lives and times through the
unfamiliar perspective of their illegitimate children. Interviewees
include many of their descendants. But beyond personal narratives
it also sheds light on the perennially fascinating topic of sexual
habits; the links between politics, power, and patronage; the class
system, scandal, and celebrity; and the different expectations we
have of men and women.
