Today, I will tell you some anecdotes about the royal family in Europe.

King Edward III of England had a mistress named Alice, so this woman was the 1 official mistress in European history and a typical villain. It is said that during the last 10 years of King Edward's rule, this lady regarded the king as a private bank and frantically asked him for property. King Edward at that time was old and fatuous, and everything depended on her. Alice gathered a lot of wealth by asking the king for jewels and then selling them. It is said that after King Edward died, she stole the royal ring from the king.

However, his behavior also aroused extreme hatred from the British people and the British Parliament. Shortly after King Edward's death, Parliament, which had endured humiliation for many years, finally took action. The government seized all her fields and confiscated a lot of jewels, including more than 20 thousand pearls.
