Descargar Libro: A Spaniard In Elizabethan England

Resumen del Libro

Antonio Perez, the brilliant but erratic secretary to Philip II of Spain, became in the years of his exile a political agent in the service of the Earl of Essex, arriving at the Court of Queen Elizabeth in 1593. On behalf of Essex, who valued him as a friend, a partner and a humanist scholar, he cast an intelligence network over Italy, and he made a striking, though dangerous, contribution to the Essex cult.
