| 520 | |a Born in 1559, Alice Spencer's family had made a small fortune in sheep farming and purchased a distinguished manor house called Althorp. With her sizable dowry, she married the heir to one of the most powerful aristocratic families in the country, becoming the Countess of Derby. Her husband's sudden death after he turned in a group of Catholics for plotting against Queen Elizabeth I changed Alice' future: her brother-in-law filed a lawsuit over her late husband's fortune--and Alice married England's most powerful lawyer. But the Spencer family would not completely escape scandals. Wilkie tells the full story of Alice Spencer Stanley Egerton, showing how her ruthless challenging of the status quo has inspired future generations of Spencers--and will change the way you view Tudor women. -- adapted from jacket | ||
