The Sacrifice of a Throne is a historical biography written by Henry Remsen Whitehouse, first published in 1897. The book provides an account of the life of Amadeus, the Duke of Aosta, who became the King of Spain for a brief period in the 1870s. The book begins with Amadeus' childhood and education in Italy, where he was born into the House of Savoy, one of Europe's oldest and most prestigious royal families. The author then details Amadeus' military career, including his service in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War. The main focus of the book is Amadeus' brief reign as King of Spain, which lasted from 1870 to 1873. The author describes the political and social upheaval that characterized Spain during this period and the challenges that Amadeus faced as a foreign monarch trying to gain the support of his new subjects. Despite his best efforts, Amadeus was unable to win the loyalty of the Spanish people, and he was forced to abdicate the throne after just three years. The book concludes with an account of Amadeus' later life, including his return to Italy and his continued service in the Italian military. Overall, The Sacrifice of a Throne provides a detailed and engaging portrait of a little-known figure in European history and sheds light on the complex political and social dynamics of 19th-century Spain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
