England. Was it an accident, suicide or murder? Robert Dudley.s open flirtation with the young
Queen Elizabeth only fuelled rumours that he had orchestrated his own wife.s death. With Dudley
now conveniently widowed, perhaps the queen had found her consort at last. The death of Amy
Robsart is one of the most famous unsolved mysteries of the Tudor period. Now, in this gripping
account, Chris Skidmore has unearthed new evidence and is able to put an end to centuries of
speculation.
