Cousin to the Queen

Lettice Knollys first arrived at court when her royal cousin, Elizabeth I, came to the throne. Lettice was a girl of radiant beauty and great charm and won Elizabeth's friendship, surviving six years of separation whilst Lettice and her first husband reared their family. When she married a second time, however, she lost the Queen's favour and for the rest of her life Elizabeth referred to her cousin as the "she-wolf". Married to a man dearly loved by the Queen, with her son the darling of the people, Lettice Knollys nevertheless remained the centre of controversy, intrigue and glamour.
