EDITORS COMMENTS
Amy Robsart, the tragic first wife of Lord Robert Dudley, is depicted in this evocative 16th century portrait. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the Elizabethan era, Amy wears a richly textured gown with a high-necked ruff, a popular accessory that framed the faces of women during this period. Her intricately designed necklace adds an air of elegance and sophistication to her appearance. Lord Robert Dudley, a favorite of Queen Elizabeth I, was married to Amy Robsart in 1550. Their union was short-lived, as Amy was found dead at the foot of the stairs in Cumnor Place, the couple's country home, in 1560. The circumstances surrounding her death have long been shrouded in mystery and speculation, with some believing that Lord Dudley may have been involved in her untimely demise. Despite the dark cloud that hangs over her story, Amy Robsart remains an intriguing figure in Elizabethan history. Her image, captured in this beautiful print from the Mary Evans Picture Library, serves as a poignant reminder of the women who lived during this fascinating and complex era in English history.
