Tasty bits of a real castle and royal history in LORD FOURNIER'S SHAMELESS PRINCESS, PART 3


Hohenzollern Castle in Hechingen
in Black Forest in Baden

Many little tidbits are true history in PRINCESS that you definitely want to read it for that —as well as the slow burn romance of Dirk, an English baron who valiantly saves lives, for the lovely Liesel, Crown Princess of Rittenburg!



So what are the true bits?

1. The picture above of the Hohenzollern Castle is what I picture the Rittenburg Castle to look like.
2. But the real castle of Thurn und Taxis looks like this: 



The timing of Bonaparte being declared emperor for life and his relentless march to overtake the Continent.

The race by many German leaders to leave the Continent before he could capture them.

The alliance of many, like the Margrave of Baden, with Bonaparte.

The crossing of General Caulaincourt over the Rhine to capture the unlucky and unwise Duke d’Enghien.

The attempt by many to persuade that young Bourbon to leave Ettenheim.

The outrage by Britain and Russia that the French violated international boundaries to be so bold as to capture, try and assassinate a prince of the Bourbon blood.

And that description in SHAMELESS PRINCESS of the “crush” at King George’s birthday celebration where a few fainted from the heat is also true!
