“A thrilling portrait of a remarkable woman
who witnessed the key events of Elizabethan England.”
Frances Walsingham is the only surviving child of Queen Elizabeth’s ‘spymaster’ Sir Francis Walsingham. Better educated than most men, her father arranges her marriage to warrior poet Sir Philip Sidney.
After Philip Sidney is killed in battle, Frances becomes Countess of Essex, and is banished from court after her husband Sir Robert Devereaux’s rebellion against the queen.
Can she marry for love, if it means turning her back on her faith and all she knows?
Based on extensive historical research, this is the story of Frances, Countess of Essex and Clanricarde.
