Treason in Tudor England by L B Smith
Tudor England abounded with traitors, whose self-defeating antics guaranteed their failure. By looking at the behaviour of Robert Devereux as a case study in political hysteria, this book examines the ways in which insecurity in the midst of political and religious revolution produced a state of hysteria that was unique to the sixteenth century.
