Queen Elizabeth I’s Maid of Honour and Shakespeare’s Dark Lady

Mary Fitton was born in 1578 in the delightful village of Gawsworth in Cheshire. She grew up to become a confident, intelligent and vivacious young woman who became a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I and many of the gentlemen of her Court; had affairs with some and became pregnant by one resulting in a threat of being imprisoned in the Tower of London. She bore a few illegitimate children before taking two husbands, and then had at least five more legitimate children, and died in 1641, aged 63. Thus a colourful and eventful life. Added to this it is claimed that she is the ‘Dark Lady’ of Shakespeare’s Sonnets. So, Mary’s story is certainly an intriguing one. The name of Mary Fitton as a contender for the identity of the Dark Lady of Shakespeare's Sonnets has been known of since 1890 when Thomas Tyler first proposed it. Since then theories have been put forward as to why she is not and who therefore might fit the bill, equally arguments as to why she is. Added to which the actual authorship of what are known as Shakespear's Sonnets is hotly debated. This new book looks at Mary's story in the context of her immediate family, her life in the Queen's court, her companions, her lovers and her two husbands. It also considers the arguments for and against her identification as the 'Dark Lady' and refers to the authorship debate.

One cryptic note. Two missing parents. Zero ordinary answers, and a magical world he never expected. Ben Greenwood’s life turned upside down the day his parents vanished—leaving behind nothing but questions. But when a mysterious letter arrives out of the blue, it changes everything. The letter points Ben toward a strange organisation he’s never heard of: the Royal Institute of Magic. Suddenly, he’s thrown into a realm where spells are bought and sold, magical creatures roam the streets, and danger lurks around every corner. To uncover the truth, Ben must dig into an ancient family secret—and face a dark force the Institute has been fighting for centuries. But if he fails, he will lose any chance of putting his world back together. Victor Kloss’s Elizabeth’s Legacy is the first book in the Royal Institute of Magic series—a thrilling adventure for young readers who love fantastical stories, spellbinding worlds, and unforgettable heroes. Can Ben discover the truth before it’s too late? ______________________________________________ Praise for the Royal Institute of Magic series: ? ? ? ? ? a cross between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson in that the characters are always on the move at a sort of breathless pace. ? ? ? ? ? … you don't have to be a magical creature to use magic. Cool. ? ? ? ? ? Wonderful Read! Not just for kids, adults will enjoy it just as much! ? ? ? ? ? … a great sense of adventure, the story line never lagged, and his characters are well defined. ? ? ? ? ? It's kind of like a steam-punk version of magic… ? ? ? ? ? … original with diverse characters and enough action and mystery to entertain teens to adults. ? ? ? ? ? It is honestly one of the few books that I have enjoyed as much as Harry Potter.
