ISBN10: 0297813102, ISBN13: 9780297813101, [publisher: Orion Publishing Co, United Kingdom, London] Softcover In the autumn of 1615 the Earl and Countess of Somerset were detained on suspicion of having murdered Sir Thomas Overbury. The arrest of these leading court figures created a sensation. The Countess was both young and beautiful: the Earl was one of the richest and most powerful men in the kingdom, having risen to prominence as the male 'favourite' of the monarch James I. In a vivid narrative, Anne Somerset unravels these extraordinary events, which were widely regarded as an extreme manifestation of the corruption and vice which disfigured the court during this period. It is at once a story rich in passion and intrigue and a murder mystery, for, despite the guilty verdicts, there is much about Overbury's death that remains enigmatic. The Overbury murder case profoundly damaged the monarchy, and constituted the greatest court scandal in English history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

ISBN10: 0297813102, ISBN13: 9780297813101, [publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London England] Hardcover First Edition Hardback. First Edition. Slight foxing to edge. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. In the summer of 1625 the Earl and Countess of Somerset were detained on suspicion of having murdered Sir Thomas Overbury. The arrest of these leading court figures created a sensation. In the coming weeks it was claimed that, after sending Sir Thomas Overbury poisned tarts and jellies, the Somersets had finally killed him by arranging for an enema of mercury sublimate to be administered. Four of the couple's supposed accomplices were hanged in connection with the murder. At her trial, the Countess of Somerset pleaded guilty, but her husband denied all responsibility for the death of Overbury. Despite this, he too was convicted. Like his wife, he was sentenced to hang, but the King caused public outrage by freeing them after short terms of imprisonment. In a vivid narrative, the author unravels these extraordinary events, which were widely regarded as an extreme manifestation of the corruption and vice which disfigured the court during this period. It is, at once, a story rich in passion and intrigue and a murder mystery, for, despite the guilty verdicts, there is much about Overbury's death that remains enigmatic.
