| A new detective story from Paul Doherty
with a difference – tracking down the real Elizabeth I
– capturing the atmosphere of Elizabethan and Jacobean
England, with stunning results. |
| Paul Doherty’s original research shows Elizabeth
I of England to be a strong-willed, brilliant ruler but also
a woman with deep passions and fervent attachments. Written
as a ‘faction’ it interprets original sources through
one of Elizabeth’s ladies-in-waiting whose ‘recollections’
form this book. |
| The complex relationships that were the essence
of the courts of Henry VIII, Mary and then Elizabeth, are described
in this web of intrigue. The lady-in-waiting describes the passionate
relationship between Elizabeth and Robert Dudley, later Earl
of Leicester. She reveals evidence about the strange death of
Dudley’s wife, the very physical relationship between
Elizabeth and Dudley, and the stunning revelation that they
had a son, Arthur Dudley, seized by the Spanish in 1587. |
