Recounting over 2,000 years of daft despots, raving rulers and potty potentates,  this unique look at the world’s craziest kings and queens will leave you  shocked, amazed – and often in fits of laughter.  From the madness of ancient Rome, exemplified by the Emperor Caligula who  wanted to appoint his horse to the consulate, we go on to meet Charles VI of  France, convinced he was made of glass, Queen Juana of Spain, never  separated from her late husband’s coffin, and King Otto of Bavaria, who tried to  ward off hereditary insanity by shooting a peasant a day.  Throughout history, royalty and scandal have gone hand-in-hand like a Prince of  Wales and his mistress – witness the pocket-picking Farouk I of Egypt, Augustus  II of Poland, who fathered an estimated 355 children, only one of whom was  legitimate, and, more recently, Britain’s master of tact and diplomacy, Prince  Philip. From kleptomania and incest to transvestism and even pigeon fancying,  all these and many more colourful characters can be found in this revealing  trawl of the world’s royal families.

As a continuing interest in all things humorous when it comes to history, I picked up this book because it looked like a very interesting read and also, most history books do not touch on WHO many of these rulers and sovereigns really were. Thanks to direct or indirect inter-marriages, Europe and Asia (ancient and near-current) had some pretty interesting leaders that put their quirks on show for all to see. But one must remember, that without some of these delightfully intriguing people, we may not have some of the famous places and land marks that draw in visitors year after year.Some of my favorites in this book are:* Shi Huangdi, Emperor of China (259-210BC) He had a personal quest for immortality and built the famous terracotta army with the help of over 700,000 prisoners of war.* Erzebet Bathory (1560-1614) the blood countess, bathed in the blood of virgin maidens to preserve her youth, and said to be a vampire.*Vitellius, Emperor of Rome (AD37-68) Prize Glutton, little military skill or experience; loved food and entertainment, nearly bankrupted the empire, in the end his supporters and enemies had had enough.* Norton, I (1819-80) Self-styled emperor of the U.S. and Protector of Mexico. Aspiring entrepreneur who wanted to make the country a greater power. Many believed he was the rightful ruler of the states.* Otto, I - King of Bavaria (1848-1916) Barking mad, took over for big-brother and said to be so deranged that he was put under house-arrest with political babysitters.* Michael Abney-Hasting, 14th Earl of Loudoun - The rightful king of England? - geneticists traced the bloodline of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence from the time of his death and senior descendants to the present in a quest to find a blood-heir to the throne.This book is a fun tour through the lives of some of history's strangest heads of state. I recommend.
