Who Was the Man in the Iron Mask? And Other Historical Enigmas (Penguin Classic History S.) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Who was Elizabeth I's father? Did Buckingham poison James I? Who was The Man in the Iron Mask? Who was King Charles I's executioner? Using the techniques of modern detection, the author has re-evaluated the evidence, alert to the distortions of contemporary and more recent propaganda. He has worked out probabilities in the light of character and motive, carefully never contradicting known facts, and has come up with answers that are both controversial and stimulating. Was Elizabeth I an accessory to the murder of Amy Robsart? Could Queen Victoria's accession have been delayed had Queen Caroline's trial revealed more? This is a book of historical whodunits that will appeal to all who find the footnotes of history a happy hunting ground.
