News Articles Shop Account The Mysterious Death of Amy Robsart, Wife of Robert Dudley: Was She Murdered by Dudley and Queen Elizabeth I? Amy Robsart, wife of Elizabeth I¡¯s favourite, Robert Dudley, later the Earl of Leicester, was found dead at the bottom of a flight of stairs on 8 September 1560 at Cumnor Place, near Oxford. Her neck was broken. Amy was 28 when she died and her marriage to Dudley had been one of great absences and loneliness. Queen Elizabeth I had commanded much of his attention over the past years and Amy had lived a peripatetic life, moving from one house to another, without ever having a home of her own. What may have been a simple accident has confounded historians for years with its inconsistencies. There are more questions than answers. Was it an accident, suicide or murder? The Marriage of Amy and Robert Amy was the daughter of Sir John Robsart and Elizabeth Scott of Stanfield Hall near Wymondham in Norfolk. It was here that she first met the dashingly handsome Robert Dudley with his father and his brothers John and Ambrose on their way to subdue Kett¡¯s Rebellion ¨C a revolt that stemmed from the enclosure of common fields by wealthy landowners. Sir John Robsart had allowed the army to camp in his grounds and provided an evening meal for the senior officers. Amy was in attendance and it was then that she met the man she would soon marry. Robert wed Amy the next year when she was only 17 on 4 June 1550 at Sheen. Instead of it being just an arranged match, there were definitely feelings of love (or lust) as William Cecil, Elizabeth I¡¯s chief advisor, called Dudley and Amy¡¯s ¡®a carnal marriage¡¯. Amy was of a lower social status than Robert but she was his choice and one accepted by his family. Their wedding ceremony came after the more auspicious marriage of his elder brother John to Anne Seymour, the eldest daughter of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset and former Lord Protector of England. Nevertheless the weekend was a round of entertainment presided over by the young king, Edward VI. Robert Dudley came from a family that had the taint of scandal attached to it. His grandfather, Edmund Dudley, had been Henry VII¡¯s financial advisor and was one of the first people that Henry VIII executed when he came to power. His father too would succumb to the wrath of a sovereign. When Edward VI knew he was dying, he wrote his ¡®Devise for the Succession¡¯ that disinherited his sisters, Mary and Elizabeth. He had hoped to pass the throne on to the male descendants of Frances Brandon, the Duchess of Suffolk, and failing that, to the male heirs of the Lady Jane Grey, but neither of them had any male children by the time of Edward¡¯s demise. Edward rejected the idea that a woman could reign by herself but on his deathbed his cousin Lady Jane was named his heir. Jane never wanted such majesty thrust upon her. But John Dudley, Robert¡¯s father and Jane¡¯s father-in-law, moved to place her on the throne and sent his sons to place the Princess Mary in custody. Mary was wise to their machinations and escaped their clutches, rallying her supporters and proclaiming her right to the throne. She was crowned the rightful Queen of England on 1 October 1553 at Westminster Abbey and Jane was taken to the Tower of London along with those who had worked to make her queen. Continue reading...

Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 May 20 Milky Way over Maunakea Image Credit & Copyright: Marzena Rogozinska Explanation: Have you ever seen the band of our Milky Way Galaxy? In a clear sky from a dark location at the right time, a faint band of light becomes visible across the sky. Soon after your eyes become dark adapted, you might spot the band for the first time. It may then become obvious. Then spectacular. One reason for your growing astonishment might be the realization that this fuzzy swath, the Milky Way, contains billions of stars. Visible in the featured image, high above in the night sky, the band of the Milky Way Galaxy arcs. Also visible are the colorful clouds of Rho Ophiuchi on the right, and the red and circular Zeta Ophiuchi nebula near the top center. Taken in late February from Maunakea, Hawaii, USA, the foreground telescope is the University of Hawaii's 2.2-Meter Telescope. Fortunately, you don¡¯t need to be near the top of a Hawaiian volcano to see the Milky Way.
