"The Queen's Rival" - the third book of Elizabeth Fremantle's series about outstanding women of English history. It tells the story of Penelope Devereux (married to Rich), who was able to win a position at court through strength of character.
For the poet Philip Sidney she was a muse, for Queen Elizabeth I - the daughter of her sworn enemy, for King James - "a beauty with a black soul". Penelope's life passed in the shadow of brilliant contemporaries, but Elizabeth Freemantle brought the heroine to the forefront. Endowed with beauty and charm, young Penelope and her brother, the Earl of Essex, arrive at court and quickly win the favor of the aging Queen Elizabeth. Penelope is in love with one, but is married off to another, for life at court is not only about broken hearts, but also shattered destinies.
