Description: Dust jacket art by Elisabeth Grant. From the jacket blurb: ''Lettice, Countess of Leicester whose story was told in The Queen's Rival had three children as full of vitality as herself: the brilliant Robert, Earl of Essex; the beautiful and wanton Penelope Rich; and the comparatively little know Dorothy, Countess of Northumberland, wife of the 'Wizard Earl'. This book tells Dorothy's story. Dorothy's fierce loyalty to her family brought her bitter sorrow, but she also knew great happiness.. The varied events of her life take the reader from the golden age of Elizabeth I, through passion, fulfillment, tragedy and betrayal, into the reign of James I.''
