Paul starts her story with Edmund Dudley, who served the tightwad Henry VII by screwing the maximum amount of money from his barons. When the King died, imprisonment swiftly followed.

They're the perfect for curating unique table-scapes for events or special soirees. We get a strong sense of how much depended on the favour of the monarch, and also on clever marriage alliances, being fertile at the right time, women's use of soft power. It's physically grounded too with a real sense of what houses looked like, how they were to live in, and the experience of travel, as well as the hell that was serious injury or illness. But mostly, it's the terrifying precariousness of the Tudor courts under Henry VII to Elizabeth that hits home: how anyone who wanted to survive had to be able to change his or her allegiances and religion and morals and friendships and even marriage on a sixpence.

This section delves into the many battles fought on the continent and fighting for Philip against the French in 1557 to fighting against Philip in 1588 against the Spanish Armada. Explanations and facts abound about Robert's wooing of Queen Elizabeth, his second (or is that third?) marriage to Lettice Devereux, and stepson Robert and the illegitimate son, Robert, with Douglas Sheffield. Hadn't realized that it was Robert Dudley that wrote a letter to Queen Elizabeth to encourage her to visit Tilbury, which gave her the platform for the rousing speech. It's interesting how the bastard Robert Dudley reached the West Indies and claimed Trinidad for Queen Elizabeth while the stepson Robert is the Queen's favorite (for a while, at least), marries Francis Walsingham's daughter, Frances after she is the widow of Philip Sidney, a Dudley heir (mother is Mary Dudley).

[4] Both titles are in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. On his death the titles passed to his eldest son, the second Earl. He was a Conservative politician and served as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland from 1902 to 1905 during the Irish Reform Association's plan for devolution in Ireland, and as Governor-General of Australia from 1908 to 1911. He is commemorated by a Dudley Street in the Queen's Quarter of Belfast. He was succeeded by his eldest son, the third Earl of Dudley, who represented Hornsey and Wednesbury in the House of Commons as a Conservative. The Third Earl died in Paris on 26 December 1969.

While in this book the question is asked, and there is a thread running through that section of the book that does keep you returning to consider the evidence placed before you, it's not intrusive and there's definitely more to Robert Dudley's story than whether he put paid to the 'Virgin' Queen.
