Favoured son of a traitorous father, Lord Robert Dudley, created Earl of Leicester, was impetuous, courageous and handsome. He possessed all of this father's ambition, but none of his political guile. He was suspected of murdering his wife in a scandal that almost implicated Queen Elizabeth, who persistently refused to marry him. This is Robert's story told partly through the eyes of those closest to him, and allowing a remarkable period of history to be seen from his point of view.
