Description
Amy Robsart: A Life and Its End by Christine Hartweg This biography recounts the life and death of Amy Robsart, the wife of Robert Dudley, Queen Elizabeth's favourite. In 1560, Amy was found dead at Cumnor, Oxfordshire, with her cause of death still a mystery. The book delves into the possible causes of Amy's death, exploring accident, suicide, murder, and illness in the context of surviving evidence, modern statistics, and Renaissance culture. Using all available documents for the first time, Hartweg also examines the people surrounding Amy, including her half-brothers, host, and those suspected of involvement. By examining the facts and myths surrounding Amy's life and death, this biography aims to rescue her from centuries of speculation and provide a more nuanced understanding of her story.
