World-Class Romantic Disasters

Henry Holt

So maybe you had a relationship or three that went awry: she threw your clothes in the yard, or he trashed you on Facebook.

Author Jennifer Wright documents 13 of the worst breakups in history in her book It Ended Badly.

Henry VIII appears in the book, and he had two of his wives beheaded.
