Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex (10 November 1565 25 February 1601), was a military hero and royal favourite of Elizabeth I, but following a poor campaign in Ireland during the Nine Years'' War in 1599, he failed in a coup d''état against the queen and was executed for treason. Essex was born on 10 November 1565 at Netherwood near Bromyard, in Herefordshire, the son of Walter Devereux, 1st Earl of Essex and Lettice Knollys. His maternal great-grandmother Mary Boleyn was a sister of Anne Boleyn, mother of Queen Elizabeth I, making him a cousin of the Queen, and there were rumours that his grandmother, Catherine Carey, a close friend of Queen Elizabeth''s, was Henry VIII''s illegitimate daughter. He was brought up on his father''s estates at Chartley Castle, Staffordshire and at Lamphey, Pembrokeshire in Wales and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge.
