This biography is based on an accurate chronology of Ralegh's own writings. It also brings many new disclosures together - Ralegh's love affair with the Irish girl Alice Goold, his care for their illegitimate child, his secret wedding with Bess Throckmorton and his attempt to commit suicide in the Tower. All of this is woven into the more familiar career of the man who found fame, fortune and ultimately the executioner's axe.
