FRANCES - TUDOR COUNTESS
Book five of the Elizabethan Series
New from Tony Riches, Author of the best-selling Tudor Trilogy
“A thrilling portrait of a remarkable woman who witnessed the key events of Elizabethan England.”
Based on extensive research, original letters and records of the Elizabethan Court, this new account explores the life of Frances Walsingham, the only surviving child of Queen Elizabeth’s ‘spymaster’ Sir Francis Walsingham. Better educated than most men, her father arranges her marriage to warrior poet Sir Philip Sidney. After Philip is killed in battle, Frances becomes Countess of Essex, and is banished from court after her husband Sir Robert Devereaux’s rebellion against the queen. Can she marry for love, if it means turning her back on her faith and all she knows?
The story which began with the Tudor trilogy follows Frances, Countess of Essex and Clanricarde, from her first days at the Elizabethan Court to the end of the Tudor dynasty and the rise of the Stuarts.

Your books have actually changed how I view this period. I used to sigh whenever anyone said Tidor, thinking here comes another Anne and Henry story. You have expanded my insight significantly, while presenting a series of fascinating people.
