Amy Robsart, the wife of Queen Elizabeth's favourite Robert Dudley, was found dead at the foot of some stairs at Cumnor, Oxfordshire, on 8 September 1560. Did she fall and break her neck, as the coroner's jury concluded? Was she ill? Did she jump? Was she pushed? Was she murdered, as many people suspected – at the time and since – and who were the killers? This vivid biography recounts her life and death in the shadow of the Tudor court, using all available documents, some for the first time. There will also for the first time be an in-depth look at the people around her, like her half-brothers, her host, or her supposed killer. The possible causes of her death, accident, suicide, murder, even illness, are discussed in context of the surviving evidence, modern statistics, and Renaissance culture. While there will never be a definite answer to the mystery of Amy's death, her life can be rescued from the myths that have grown around her over the centuries.

Amy Robsart was the wife of Queen Elizabeth I's favourite, Robert Dudley, later Earl of Leicester. In September 1560, she was found dead, her neck broken, at the bottom of a flight of stairs at Cumnor Place. Amy was twenty-eight when she died and her marriage to Dudley had been one of great absences and loneliness. Some said she was ill, others that she was desperate. More sinister rumours talked of murder. In this book we look at Amy's unsolved death and examine who had motive to commit such a dark deed. Was it an accident, suicide or murder? The Death of Amy Robsart is the first volume in an exciting new historical true crime series from Chronos Books.

ENTRY IN KING EDWARD'S DIARY. The following entry relative to the wedding of Amy Robsart was made by Edward VI. in his diary: S. Robert dudeley, third sonne to th' erle of warwic, married S. John Robsarte's daughter, after whose marriage there were certain gentlemen that did strive who should take away a gose's head, which was hanged alive on tow crose postes. 2. AMY ROBSART'S FUNERAL. Nearly all the accounts of Amy Robsart's funeral imply that, before her corpse was finally deposited at Oxford, it had been hastily buried at Cumnor. Such still is the local tradition. There is, however, no proof whatsoever to demonstrate that Amy's body was ever buried anywhere than at St. Mary's, Oxford. The story of the secret obsequies at Cumnor is as incorrect as Scott's portrait of Forster. The correspondence that took place between Dudley and Blount, printed above, makes it clear that if any such interment as that which Leicester's Commonwealth relates ever took place at Cumnor, it was totally unknown to both Dudley and Forster, and, in fact, to everybody else. Third surviving son. One of the most frequently quoted arguments in favour of the theory that Amy Robsart was murdered is the statement that when Dr. Babyngton, Dudley's chaplain, preached her funeral oration, he more than once tripped in his speech and described her as having been murdered. This story owes its origin, it is hardly necessary to say, to the ingenious author of the Commonwealth, and has been taken for gospel ever since. To my mind, however, as a set-oft against the authenticity of this tale, it is by no means certain that Babyngton ever preached the funeral oration at all, but that it was delivered by a far greater orator?the famous Edward Campion, who afterwards joined the S...

The dramatic story of Elizabeth's first ten years on the throne and the unexplained death that scandalised her court. Elizabeth came to the throne in 1558 a 25-year-old virgin - the most prized catch in Christendom. For the first ten years of her reign, one matter dominated above all others: the question of who the queen was to marry and when she would produce an heir. Elizabeth's life as England's Virgin Queen is one of the most celebrated in history. Christopher Skidmore takes a fresh look at the familiar story of a queen with the stomach of a man, steadfastly refusing to marry for the sake of her realm, and reveals a very different picture: of a vulnerable young woman, in love with her suitor, Robert Dudley. Had it not been for the mysterious and untimely death of his wife, Amy Robsart, Elizabeth might have one day been able to marry Dudley, since Amy was believed to be dying of breast cancer. Instead, the suspicious circumstances surrounding Amy Robsart's death would cast a long shadow over Elizabeth's life, preventing any hope of a union with Dudley and ultimately shaping the course of Tudor history. Using newly discovered evidence from the archives, Christopher Skidmore is able to put an end to centuries of speculation as to the true causes of her death.
