Royal families have feared the vomit-inducing agony of the little something enemies may try to add to their food for centuries. The Royal Art of Poison presents a story of the power of poison. Royals of past centuries, while worried about their food, were unaware that each day they were poisoning themselves with the medications and cosmetics they used and the poor conditions in which they lived. Learn all about the glittering palaces of Europe – their history of medical bafflement, poisonous cosmetics and unhygienic conditions leading to death, along with the occasional murder.
