Medieval Murder Mysteries Season 1 Episode 4

The name Amy Robsart may not resonate through the ages, but the unfortunate woman was the victim in a scandal and a mystery that stains the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to this day. Robsart was the wife of Robert Dudley, the favourite and alleged lover of the Queen and the man she is said to have told she would marry – if only he was free to do so.

Her death caused a scandal – with the finger of blame pointed firmly at Dudley. What is the truth about Amy’s tragic death?
