Book Synopsis Essex - Tudor Rebel by : Tony Riches
Book excerpt: What makes the queen's young favourite turn against her? Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, is one of the most intriguing men of the Elizabethan period. Tall and handsome, he soon becomes a 'favourite' at court, so close to the queen many wonder if they are lovers. The truth is far more complex, as each has what the other yearns for. Robert Devereux longs for recognition, wealth and influence. His flamboyant naïveté amuses the ageing Queen Elizabeth, like the son she never had, and his vitality makes her feel young. Continuing the story of the Tudors, begun in Tony Riches' best-selling Tudor trilogy, this epic tale of loyalty, love and adventure follows Robert from his youth to his fateful rebellion.
