Written "from the inside" by the younger son of the 4th marquess of Salisbury, who grew up within the walls where Elizabeth I and her brother, Edward VI, played as children; the Queen gave the property to her first chief minister, William Lord Burghley, who passed it on to her second chief minister, Robert Burghley, 1st earl of Salisbury. This absorbing dynastic biography should be read (like Altschul's book on the Clares) as a case study on the the changeable fortunes of a powerful noble family.
