Description: If you've ever wanted to wear a crown, invade a neighbor, or marry for land and money, read this entertaining book. Find out how the brainy and brawny royals in history, who inherited power or seized it by force, measure up against each other. From power-hungry kings and queens to kindhearted monarchs, some were brave warriors, some were cruel dictators, and a few even ruled in the best interests of their people. Full-color comic illustrations are splashed throughout the witty, bite-sized chunks of fact-filled text.
