A class of their own: the history of European nobility
Have you ever wondered what really happened at court, what its rules of dress and etiquette were, what noblewomen wrote in their secret diaries and which blue bloods actually did any work?
In this book, Spiegel authors and renowned society experts provide an unprecedented insight into the opulent world of European nobility. They introduce us to the key ruling families and their ancestral seats, explain the political and military influence wielded by the aristocracy since the Middle Ages, describe how its role has changed over time, and reveal to what, if anything, its noblesse still obliges it these days.
