Of all Europe's surviving dynasties, the Spanish Bourbons have had the most tumultuous history, enduring two centuries of assassination attempts, coups, abdication, exile and restoration. This readable, richly anecdotal history charts their roller-coaster ride from the accession of the notorious Queen Isabel II in 1833 to the present King Juan Carlos. With a cast of colourful and often eccentric characters, it traces the family's bitter rivalries, long years in the wilderness, and triumphant return to lead a modern, democratic Spain.
