Doomed Queens by Kris Waldherr
This looks like fun (well, as fun as reading about women who you know met bad ends can be):
DOOMED QUEENS is a darkly humorous look at the dangers of being female and royal. Over the course of fifty illustrated and too-brief lives, it charts centuries of regal backstabbing and intrigue. Robin Maxwell, bestselling author of Mademoiselle Boleyn, described my book as “A smart, sassy overview of the ‘dark side’ of the crown and scepter. It makes a girl glad she was born a commoner.”
You can read an excerpt, watch the You Tube video, read an interview with the author and more at www.DoomedQueens.com. I also took the Facebook quiz and was delighted to find out that I’m “Decidedly not a Doomed Queen”.
And of course, the usual Amazon links below:

I actually read this book recently. I found it really entertaining and it had a lot of good information in it. I heartily recommend it.

I’ve read a lot of good things about this book, so it’s on the wish-list. I’m actually trying to get the minimum on my list so shipping doesn’t have to be paid.
Just SO WISH John Guy’s Thomas More was ready to be published in the U.S.
For those authors amongst us…why does the U.K. get stuff months before The States?

I actually read this book too and interviewed Kris over at Scandalous Women.
