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.
