About This Item
In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.
It is generally supposed that until this century and after the First World War, all Royal Marriages were arranged for political or national motives
These included the acquisition of territory and the optimistic hope that the linking of two Ruling houses would ensure peace for the peoples over whom they ruled.
Ninety-nine people out of a hundred were also sure that when Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, now our beloved Queen Mother, married the Duke of York, later George VI, it was the first love-match in Britain.
I have therefore found it fascinating to discover that the first English King to marry for love was William the Conqueror. Far more Royalty in Europe have made love-matches than anyone had ever imagined. I do hope you enjoy reading about some of them.
