| Description: |
William Cavendish was a gifted horseman, prolific womaniser and skilled diplomat. This work is not just the story of that one remarkable man and the courtly world of King Charles I and his Cavaliers. From Ben Jonson and Van Dyck to a savage, knife-wielding master-cook, it is an illumination of the stately home and its many colourful inhabitants. |
| Synopsis: |
William Cavendish was a gifted horseman, prolific womaniser and skilled diplomat. Famously defeated at the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644, he went into a long and miserable exile before returning to England in triumph on the restoration of King Charles II to the throne in 1660. But this is not just the story of that one remarkable man and the courtly world of King Charles I and his Cavaliers. More than that, Lucy Worsley brings to life the complex and fascinating household hierarchies 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. |
