Excerpt from Lives and Letters of the Devereux, Earls of Essex, Vol. 2 of 2: In the Reigns of Elizabeth, James I., And Charles I., 1540-1646 Camden, whose authority has been received un questioned by every subsequent writer, has stated that Lord Mountjoy was nominated; that his ap pointment was Opposed by Essex, on the ground that he was not sufficiently experienced in the conduct of warlike affairs; that his fortune and connections were not sufficiently great and that he was too much devoted to study; that every body perceived Essex meant to point at himself as the only fit person: and upon his enemies becoming aware of this, they con spired with alacrity to Obtain his appointment thus, while they gratified his ambition, Obtaining for them selves a clear field at court. Francis Bacon, Whose intimate friendship with the Earl had decayed since the summer of 1597, when Essex had made ineffectual efforts to further the interests of Bacon in his suit to the rich widow, Lady Hatton, and who probably had contemplated.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ...his own messengers, but through the Archduke's ambassador, who sent circular letters to the Governors of the towns in the Netherlands, desiring that Essex and Howard should be arrested. This letter is interesting, as it gives a description of Essex's person. Another paper is appended, signed by the Earl's seconds, from which it appears, that the King had interposed to effect a reconciliation between the principals; that a paper was drawn up, read in the presence of Sir Horatio Vere and Sir John Went-worth, and signed by the seconds; that subsequently the seconds of Mr. Howard put forth a paper professing to be that one, but containing a different version of the story, of course unfavourable to Essex, who, thereupon, disowning the act of his seconds, they wrote this paper, declaring the statement of the other party to be " merely false." 1 AVinwood's Mem. iii. 475. 2 Henry Howard was third son of the Earl of Suffolk.

Tudor England abounded with traitors great and small, whose ill-timed, self-defeating and irrational antics guaranteed their failure. Yet from the inept and calamitous intrigues of 'Sweet-Lips' Gregory Botolf in 1540 and Lord Admiral Thomas Seymour during the reign of Edward VI, to the bungling efforts at a palace coup by Robert Devereux, second Earl of Essex, during the final years of Elizabeth's reign, treason didn't prosper. Modern historians tend to dismiss the wave of political disasters as the works of men of unsound mind. Here, Lacey Baldwin Smith re-evaluates this mania for conspiracy in the light of psychological and social impulses peculiar to the age. Tudor England accepted unquestioningly the conspiracy theory of history; it assumed the existence of evil; and it instinctively believed that a greater and usually malicious reality lay behind outward appearance. Sensible men were for ever on guard against their Iago, dedicated to evil for its own sake, who lurked under the guise of a trusted friend or servant. Father's advised their sons, 'Love no man: trust no man'; contemporary literature and drama reflected and reinforced this belief, as did the essentials of Tudor education which taught students how to dissemble convincingly upon a public stage. By looking at the behaviour of the flamboyant Robert Devereux (who bore all the hallmarks of paranoia) as a case study in political hysteria, Lacey Baldwin Smith examines the ways in which insecurity in the midst of political and religious revolution was obsessive and self-perpetuating, and produced throughout the kingdom a state of hysteria that was unique to the sixteenth century.
