Description
Conspiracy besets Elizabeth in the seventh volume of Froude's History, from 1863. The Northern Rebellion of 1569 raises the Catholic earls in revolt. The Ridolfi plot then schemes to seat Mary Stuart on England's throne by foreign arms.
Froude turns secret history into high drama in these pages. Spies, coded letters, and informers fill the shadow war he recounts. The scaffold waits at the end of each failed design. He shows a regime learning to survive by vigilance and ruthlessness. The volume reads like a thriller of the Tudor age, yet rests on hard digging in state papers.
