Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex en
Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, KG PC was an English nobleman and a favourite of Elizabeth I. Politically ambitious, and a committed general, he was placed under house arrest following a poor campaign in Ireland during the Nine Years' War in 1599. In 1601 he led an abortive coup d'état against the government and was executed for treason. Wikipedia [ - ]

- Essex spent some of his youth in the household of William Cecil (Lord Burghley) but at 17, went to London to join Queen Elizabeth's court.
- But what he lacked in wealth, he made up for in charm.
- He was the poorest Earl in England, owing huge sums to the Crown through inherited debts.
- In 1585, Essex joined the campaign against the Spanish in the Netherlands, but saw little action and found the exercise boring except for the bloody skirmish near Zutphen in September, 1586, in which his friend Sidney, the courtier poet, was fatally wounded.
- Tall and handsome, he sang well, danced gracefully, could recite Latin verse, and was a dashing figure at jousting tournaments.
- After the forces returned in 1587, Queen Elizabeth took a shine to Essex.
- The execution of Mary, Queen of Scots had disrupted her relationship with her closest advisers and she was suspicious of the people around her.
- She was in a vulnerable position at the time.
- She made him Master of the Horse, a position which brought him an income as well as other privileges.
- In Essex, she saw a handsome and charming young man who was no threat, mainly because he was financially dependent on her.
