Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Lady Arabella Stuart, Vol. 2 of 2: Including Numerous Original and Unpublished Documents The close of the year 1603 was marked by one of the most scandalous State trials in history and one that threatened danger to Arabella. This was the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh. When we look at the character of Raleigh - bold enterprising, liberal, and chivalrous - and then at the mean, pedantic, contemptible James, we can scarcely imagine two men more utterly antagonistic. It is a remarkable fact that, even as the elective affinity will draw together two human beings who have no previous knowledge of each other, often without the medium of friends, so, on the other hand, a mutual disgust is felt without any tangible cause or outward action. This disgust is sometimes veiled beneath ceremony, or restrained by conscience, but its existence remains; and this repulsion certainly existed between Raleigh and the King.
