What makes the queen's young favourite turn against her?
Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, is one of the most intriguing men of the Elizabethan period. Tall and handsome, he soon becomes a ‘favourite’ at court, so close to the queen many wonder if they are lovers.
The truth is far more complex, as each has what the other yearns for. Robert Devereux longs for recognition, wealth and influence. His flamboyant naïveté amuses the ageing Queen Elizabeth, like the son she never had, and his vitality makes her feel young.
Continuing the story of the Tudors, begun in Tony Riches’ best-selling Tudor trilogy, this epic tale of loyalty, love and adventure follows Robert Devereux from his youth to his fateful rebellion.

5つ星のうち5.0 Elizabethan Tragedy Abounds in Political Intrigue, Dangerous Liaisons, and Military Adventures

The legacy of King Henry VIII has always fascinated me, but I'm not as familiar with Queen Elizabeth I in the Tudor Dynasty. Previously, I enjoyed reading Tony Riches’ novel, "Owen (Book One of the Tudor Trilogy)," and learning more about Owen Tudor, the founder of the Tudor Dynasty. Thus, I was excited to read his newest released book, "Essex —Tudor Rebel (Book Two of the Elizabethan Series)." This historical fiction novel is about the life story of Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex and a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I. The Queen, 33 years his senior, is drawn to the tall and handsome nobleman and plays cards and dances with him in a show of courtly love.

The story begins in 1576 when the eleven-year-old Robert learns his father has mysteriously died at her Majesty's service in Ireland, leaving the family in debt. Previously, Robert overheard his parents arguing about their debt and distinctly recalls his father’s terse reply: "The queen has ruined me, and no man will give me credit for any money." This memory will continue to haunt Robert as he struggles to regain his family legacy at the royal court throughout his remaining life. Unfortunately, Robert inherits the Devereux curse: "A talent for my expenditure exceeds my income." The subsequent marriage of Robert's mother to Sir Robert Dudley, without the Queen’s permission, further complicates his situation at court. The novel abounds with political machinations, military expeditions, betrayal, courtly love, and scandalous liaisons. In many ways, Robert Devereux's life journey mimics his father's. Robert dies in disgrace as a rebel due to his hubris and unsound judgment.

Author Tony Riches has masterfully written a tragic Elizabethan tale that provides insight into Robert Devereux as he transforms from the Queen's favorite courtier to a rebel. The narrative is rich with vivid descriptions and crisp dialogue typical of the era. By telling the story from Robert’s perspective, the reader more readily engages with him and understands his motivations and character flaws. He often finds excuses and blames others for his military failures and swelling debts. Though the Queen gives him lucrative offices and a profitable monopoly on imported sweet wine, Robert often displays an appalling breach of conduct whenever he is insulted by the rule of an older woman. He underestimates the Queen’s tolerance for his misbehavior and his enemies' political ambitions behind the scenes. However, noblemen such as Robert Devereux often paid their own expenses on military expeditions in service of the Majesty and were never compensated. The resulting debt often placed enormous pressure on them to provide for their families. With these circumstances, it is understandable why Robert finally acted out in a rebellion. Embittered, he believes the Queen does not adequately acknowledge or pay him for his sacrifice to her, as she also did with his father.

The tale also provides insight into the interactions of the elderly Queen Elizabeth I with younger men in a show of courtly love. Though it is unlikely she had sexual affairs with Robert and other courtiers, she is extremely jealous of them, as if they were actually her lovers. She is often vindictive to her courtiers and their wives after they marry without her permission. An example is when she banishes Robert’s mother from court because she secretly married Sir Robert Dudley, one of the Queen’s former courtiers. The story also takes the reader on Robert's military adventures, including with Francis Drake's English Armada into France and Ireland and Walter Raleigh's expedition to the Azores.

I highly recommend "Essex – Tudor Rebel" for those interested in the Tudor Dynasty. It is a tragic Elizabethan tale steeped in political intrigue, dangerous liaisons, and military adventures.

Interesting book about a charismatic man who was in queen Elizabeth the first’s inner circle. He proves that getting too close to the flame can be dangerous.

Really detailed story of this man's life and his infatuation with being successful in life and in the queens eyes. Very informative and entertaining. A good read for anyone like myself who is interested in the Tudor period.

The first book I read by Tony Riches was set in the early 15th century and featured Eleanor Cobham, wife to a royal Duke who was accused of being a witch and ended up locked up for the rest of her life. Better, I suppose, than being executed.
Since then, I have followed Tony forward through time. His excellent Tudor series, depicting the rise of said dynasty, was followed by insightful books about Tudor royals and grandees, notably Henry VIII’s sister, Princess Mary, and her husband, Charles Brandon. More recently, he has moved into Elizabethan times, and with Essex Tony Riches takes us into the last few decades of Elizabeth I’s long reign.
I am not all that keen on Tudor times. I am rather sick of books about Anne Boleyn, this latter-day martyr to true love who was probably an ambitious and grasping young woman. And as to Anne Boleyn’s daughter, I have always been rather impressed by the queen Elizabeth I, but as a person I dare say she wasn’t all that likeable.
Maybe that is why I so enjoyed Tony’s book, Essex. Here we have an ageing queen who still expects men to fawn and flatter. We have a queen who ruthlessly uses the men around her, promising favours and compensations for expenses incurred while never really having the intention of paying up. The protagonist of Essex, Robert Deveraux, experiences first hand as a child how his father sinks deeper and deeper into debt while serving his queen, the promised moneys to cover his expenses on behalf of the crown never materialising.
Tony Riches’ Elizabeth is old. She is also lonely, bitter, extremely intelligent and just as manipulative. Elizabeth doesn’t want to be old. For a little while yet, she wants to pretend she is still young, still handsome enough to genuinely have men falling at her feet—which is why the very handsome and vibrant Robert Deveraux, Earl of Essex, becomes a favourite of hers.
What ultimately happens between those two is well-known, and I really enjoyed how Tony guided us through the accumulating tensions and frustrations of Robert Deveraux that ended with him taking treasonous action. What Tony Riches does is breathe life into Robert Deveraux , adding depths to his personality that present us with a young man very far from the vain glory-hound he is often presented as.
This Robert cares about people. He worries about his siblings, about the maid he initiates a relationship with, even about his very distant mother. He is affectionate with his wife—the wife he weds in secret so as not to enrage the queen (did not work). He even cares for Elizabeth—at least initially—recognising just how isolated she is as Gloriana the queen. Most of all, though, Robert is driven by the desire to acquit himself well, to somehow leave his mark on the world and, in doing so, repair the fortunes of his family—the fortunes his father lost while serving the queen who ultimately signs Robert’s execution order.
In a court as intricate as a giant cobweb, a man like Essex easily gets lost and tangles with the sticky threads. And in the middle sits the spider herself. She may be ageing, but Elizabeth never relinquishes control over her kingdom nor forgives those who threaten it. But I dare say she wept for the man who was once so young and handsome. What she probably didn’t do was reflect on how she contributed to the desperation that led to his downfall.
A warmly recommended read!
