- Summary
- Robert Dudley is the most powerful man in England during the reign of Elizabeth I. Handsome and clever, he draws the interests of many women-but it is Elizabeth herself that loves him best of all. Their relationship could culminate in marriage but for the existence of Amy Robsart, Rober's tragic young wife. When Amy suddenly dies, under circumstances that many deem to be mysterious, the Queen and her lover are placed under a dark cloud of suspicion, and Elizabeth is forced to make a choice that will define her legacy.
