Description

William Cavendish, courageous, cultured and passionate about women, embodies the popular image of a cavalier. Famously defeated at the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644, he went into a long and miserable continental exile before returning to England in triumph on the restoration of King Charles II to the throne in 1660. Lucy Worsley brings to life a fascinating household of the seventeenth century, painting a picture of conspiracy, sexual intrigue, clandestine marriage and gossip. From Ben Jonson and Van Dyck to a savage, knife-wielding master-cook, Cavalier is a brilliant illumination of the stately home and all its many colourful inhabitants.

Author Biography:

Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces, Lucy Worsley (30 years old) has been researching the story of William Cavendish and his household for over 7 years, and is the author of the English Heritage guide to Bolsover Castle, his principal home and subject of this book.
