Description
The life and the horrifying traitor’s death at Tyburn of Elizabeth I’s personal physician, Roderigo Lopez, is the pivot on which Dominic Green spins an elaborate narrative of Elizabethan court life, dramatic political intrigues and Spanish spying tied into rivalry between Lord Burghley and the Earl of Essex, and a possible plot to poison the Queen.
It’s wonderfully robust, double-dealing stuff, tricked out from original research and coloured by fascinating period detail.
