Queen Barbara of Poland’s sweeping tale is supposed to be a “love conquers all” romance—but few people know her whole, heartbreaking story. This cunning queen used her wits to gain power, had a passionate affair with a king, and feuded with a vicious mother-in-law, with all her efforts culminating in an utterly brutal end.
Sometimes, horrible jerks decide to mess with the wrong person—and when they do, the amazing results range from absolutely hilarious to utterly disturbing.
From cheating spouses to catastrophic accidents, there are times when life throws brutal punches...and these people have firsthand experience.
No matter how patient and kind we are day to day, everyone has a breaking point. Somtimes the only thing to do is say “Enough!”
There are few experiences more satisfying than getting to say “That’s it, I quit”—and these stories are proof.
When someone really pushes our buttons, we'd like to think that we'd hold our head high and turn the other cheek, but revenge is so, so sweet.
