About this listen

What makes the queen's young favorite 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 ‘favorite’ 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.

Essex

A riveting account of Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex's turbulent life. I'm not ordinarily a fan of historical fiction but this has really switched me onto the genre.
The author manages to generate sympathy for this deeply flawed character and breathes life into a rich cast of historical characters.

The highlight for me was narrator Nigel Peever's excellent voice acting and accompanying audio effects; the period music was a subtle accompaniment and the sfx were spot on. A genuine 5☆ experience.
