Title : Imperial Tragedies - Juliette Benzoni - book
Summary :
The assassination of Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Victoria of England by the Reds of the Russian Revolution brought to a close the long agony of the imperial dynasties. With the last of the Romanovs, an entire European history disappeared from the memory of the people. Of these great princely families? The Habsburgs of Austria, the Hohenzollerns of Germany, the Bourbons of France? All that remains are the titles of nobility pinned to history books. Who truly knows the private lives of these glorious couples: Emperor Franz Joseph and Duchess Elisabeth, known as "Sissi," Archduke Rudolf and Princess Stephanie of Belgium, or Emperor Maximilian and Princess Charlotte?
Juliette Benzoni brings these illustrious characters back to life. Through their tumultuous love lives, the author traces the tragic destinies of these beings blessed by the gods and cursed by men.
