Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Oyer of Poisoning: The Trial of the Earl of Somerset for the Poisoning of Sir Thomas Overbury, in the Tower of London, and Various Matters Connected Therewith, From Contemporary Mss The Masque of Hymen, that delightful relick of literature and manners in the days of King James the First, introduced to public notice a female of noble family, who became the heroine (if we may use this term in a bad sense) of the "Grand Oyer of Poisoning." This Masque was represented on the occasion of the marriage of the Earl of Essex with Lady Frances Howard. The Bridegroom was but fourteen years of age, the Bride was only thirteen. The elder of these children in after times commanded the Parliament´s army at Edge Hill against the Cavaliers, headed by King Charles in person. The younger´s career of guilty enjoyment, magnificence, crime, and degradation will appear in the transactions which are the subject of the following pages.
