How drugs, cosmetics and food served as a method of sophisticated reprisal The history of poisoning is inextricably linked with the idea of luxurious palaces of royal dynasties. Rulers for centuries were horrified at the mere thought of poison, their clothes and dishes were checked by hundreds of servants, and all rituals, even the most intimate ones, were violated by the presence of numerous close associates guarding the ruling family from merciless and completely invisible weapons of reprisal. Ironically, kings and queens, so carefully guarded against poisons, daily and unconsciously poisoned themselves with their own hands - cosmetics based on lead and mercury, skin cream with arsenic, drinks based on lead filings and mercury enemas were completely familiar companions of royalty. In her book, Eleanor Herman combines years of unique research in the medical archives and cutting-edge forensic expertise to tell the true story of Europe's resplendent and luxurious palaces: unsanitary conditions, killing cosmetics, poisonous medicines and ubiquitous excrement.
