Claimants to Royalty

This book addresses the age-old problem of those persons for reasons of advantage who would through false statements and manufactured evidence have others believe that they were descendants of royalty when in fact they were not. Though the list of these false claimants to a throne is a lengthy one the author illuminates the individuals and circumstances of those considered the most interesting. This work is an interesting resource for the student of sovereigns and royal families. Paperback (1882) 2014 276 pp.
