Marriages of crowned persons have always aroused universal interest, and only a few knew how many tears were shed by the princesses who were married in the name of the prosperity of their countries. But they were women, and often the place of the unloved husband was taken on their bed by a handsome man - the favorite. Sometimes in the arms of their lovers these women sought a reciprocal feeling, sometimes they took revenge on their spouses for humiliation and violated dignity. But among them there were also passionate natures, for whom love affairs were the meaning of life. Such was Messalina, the wife of Emperor Claudius, and the famous Frenchwoman Queen Margot...
