One of Washington Independent Review of Books' 50 Favorite Books of 2018 • A Buzzfeed Best Book of 2018"Morbidly witty." —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times "A heady mix of erudite history and delicious gossip." —Aja Raden, author of StonedHugely entertaining, a work of pop history that traces the use of poison as a political—and cosmetic—tool in the royal courts of Western Europe from the Middle Ages to the Kremlin todayThe story of poison is the story of power. For centuries, royal families have feared the gut-roiling, vomit-inducing agony of a little something added to their food or wine by an enemy. To avoid poison, they depended on tasters, unicorn horns, and antidotes tested on condemned prisoners. Servants licked the royal family’s spoons, tried on their underpants and tested their chamber pots. Ironically, royals terrified of poison were unknowingly poisoning themselves daily with their cosmetics, medications, and filthy living conditions. Women wore makeup made with mercury and lead. Men rubbed turds on their bald spots. Physicians prescribed mercury enemas, arsenic skin cream, drinks of lead filings, and potions of human fat and skull, fresh from the executioner. The most gorgeous palaces were little better than filthy latrines. Gazing at gorgeous portraits of centuries past, we don’t see what lies beneath the royal robes and the stench of unwashed bodies; the lice feasting on private parts; and worms nesting in the intestines. In The Royal Art of Poison, Eleanor Herman combines her unique access to royal archives with cutting-edge forensic discoveries to tell the true story of Europe’s glittering palaces: one of medical bafflement, poisonous cosmetics, ever-present excrement, festering natural illness, and, sometimes, murder.

HIlarious book in many ways. Whenever you hear someone talk about the good old days, you need to hand them this book. It isn't just about the many ways people found to poison rivals. The sheer dirtiness of life before the 1800's is appalling, and people are very quick to forget the infectious diseases that regularly killed people. I'd like to hand this book to the many idiots I come across when teaching pathophysiology and physiology, who refuse to get vaccinations! I'm so tired of arguing about the need for specific chemicals that will kill a chemical that will kill a chemical being (us) if we don't use it.Herman wrote pretty well, and I like the snide comments she made. Many people don't realize how prevalent certin heavy metals were both in constructing homes, use on daily materials and dishes, in medications that really did more harm. I can guarantee if someone asked me if I would like to live in the past, they'd get a big resounding "NO!" HOwever, if people do not read and understand science, and quit listening to the many unscientific idiots out there like our current president, we may end up in the Dark Ages again, sooner than we think!
