Mortal Monarchs

With so many monarchs across different eras, I wonder what guided the selection process and how they balanced famous vs. lesser-known deaths.

The book’s vivid descriptions made me think about the human side of history’s most powerful figures — was that intentional or just a side effect?

It’s a unique angle that highlights the end of a ruler’s story, but I’m curious whether the author considered exploring their rise or reign more deeply.
