A Royal Legacy
Victoria and Albert’s Children and Their Continuing Political Influence

Join Margaret Savage, one of Tucson’s favorite lecturers, for a look at the personal lives, political liaisons, and lasting influences of the nine children born to Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Albert.  Through carefully orchestrated marriages, the royal family circle eventually included the thrones of Germany, Spain, Russia, Sweden and, of course, Great Britain. From the introduction of hemophilia to the Spanish royal family to the canonization of one of Victoria’s granddaughters by the Russian Orthodox church, the dramatic stories of this powerful family rival any of today’s tabloid headlines.

When: Fridays  Oct 24 - Nov 7  10:00am-12pm
Where: The Windmill Inn, 4250 N. Campbell Ave.
Cost: $65 (3 sessions)
