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.

Book Synopsis Shakespeare and the Resistance by : Clare Asquith
Download or read book Shakespeare and the Resistance written by Clare Asquith and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare's largely misunderstood narrative poems contain within them an explosive commentary on the political storms convulsing his country The 1590s were bleak years for England. The queen was old, the succession unclear, and the treasury empty after decades of war. Amid the rising tension, William Shakespeare published a pair of poems dedicated to the young Earl of Southampton: Venus and Adonis in 1593 and The Rape of Lucrece a year later. Although wildly popular during Shakespeare's lifetime, to modern readers both works are almost impenetrable. But in her enthralling new book, the Shakespearean scholar Clare Asquith reveals their hidden contents: two politically charged allegories of Tudor tyranny that justified-and even urged-direct action against an unpopular regime. The poems were Shakespeare's bestselling works in his lifetime, evidence that they spoke clearly to England's wounded populace and disaffected nobility, and especially to their champion, the Earl of Essex. Shakespeare and the Resistance unearths Shakespeare's own analysis of a political and religious crisis which would shortly erupt in armed rebellion on the streets of London. Using the latest historical research, it resurrects the story of a bold bid for freedom of conscience and an end to corruption that was erased from history by the men who suppressed it. This compelling reading situates Shakespeare at the heart of the resistance movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Tudor faces the most dangerous threat of her reign... Who will prevail, queen or noble? The old generation or the new? The Queen's Rebel: Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex (The Tudor Court, Book 2) is a revealing portrait of a man convinced he was born to rule but whose character flaws led him to the executioner's block instead. A must-read for Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir fans. When Robert Devereux arrives at court, he catches the eye of the ageing Queen Elizabeth I. Grief-stricken after the death of her favourite, the Earl of Leicester, Robert spies an opportunity to step into his shoes. But unlike his predecessor, Robert is not prepared to have Elizabeth dangle favours before him only to snatch them away again. His eyes are on a much bigger prize, that of the throne itself. But Elizabeth is not willing to relinquish her power, so Robert has to fight for what he believes should be his. There are no prizes for coming second at the Tudor court. This fight is to the death! Kindly note: The Queen's Rebel was previously published under the title of The Rebel Earl.

Download or read book The Rebel Earl written by Laura Dowers and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I was ever sorry that your lordship should fly with waxen wings, doubting Icarus' fortune.' - Francis Bacon Elizabeth Tudor, the queen of England, is growing old. Her friends are growing old with her and are dying, leaving her to rule over a court inhabited by the next generation - young men and women who know her only as an irascible old woman, a queen who is in danger of outliving her usefulness. But Queen Elizabeth is not a spent force quite yet and her magnificence attracts the attentions of Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex. The country's darling, the Earl of Essex is young and handsome, daring and brave. He is also ambitious and sees no limit to what he can achieve. Unwilling to be Queen Elizabeth's slave as others have before him, he chafes at his bonds and continually challenges her authority. Tender towards Robert Devereux, the son she never had, Elizabeth repeatedly forgives his unruly behaviour. But Robert grows proud, fuelled by the love the English people have for him. Believing himself powerful, he makes an ultimate challenge to Elizabeth's authority as sovereign and rebels against his queen. The Essex Rebellion is one of the greatest threats that Elizabeth Tudor has had to face. But Gloriana is not as weak as the Earl of Essex supposes. Lacking popular support, Essex finds his ambitions tumbling around him. Arrested on charges of treason, he is imprisoned in the Tower of London. Elizabeth loved him once, but she cannot forgive such a betrayal. Elizabeth I cannot allow the traitor Essex to live. A good read for lovers of historical fiction and those who enjoy the historical novels of Philippa Gregory and Alison Weir.

Book Synopsis Rebellion and Riot by : Barrett L. Beer
Download or read book Rebellion and Riot written by Barrett L. Beer and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The short reign of Edward VI was a turbulent one, even by Tudor standards. In addition to such perennial problems as religious change, inflation, poor harvests, and war with Scotland and France - and to some extent as a result of them - the kingdom was threatened by widespread unrest, riots, and rebellions among the common people." "The riots and rebellions were, of course, put down, and their history was recorded by the educated ruling class. In this study, Barrett L. Beer looks at these dramatic events from the viewpoint of the rebellious commoners. Drawing on a variety of contemporary manuscript sources, he analyzes the themes of discontent that motivated them, the radical demands that challenged the social order, and the acts of repression and reform by which the government responded. Above the clamor of the streets and countryside runs the intricate story of the interaction and often confusing relations among the commoners, the gentry who controlled local government, and the king's councillors in London." "Rebellion and Riot provides insights into the critical mid-Tudor period in England. The discontents these riots reflected helped shape the direction of later history."--BOOK JACKET.
