Description
Elizabeth I's Last Favourite: Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex By Sarah-Beth Watkins The story of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, has long been overshadowed by the more famous figures of Elizabeth I's court. However, in this book, Sarah-Beth Watkins sheds new light on the life and death of one of the queen's most beloved favourites. Essex was a complex figure, driven by both a deep affection for Elizabeth and a desire for power and wealth. His relationships with the queen were marked by both tenderness and turmoil, as he struggled to live up to the legacy of his stepfather, Robert Dudley. Despite his flaws, Essex enjoyed a special place in the queen's heart, but his own ambitions ultimately led him down a path of rebellion that would have far-reaching consequences. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most intriguing figures, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of Elizabethan politics and society.
