Burghley
William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520-1598) was Elizabeth I's closest adviser and the driving force behind the Queen's reign for four decades. This biography gives weight to Cecil's formative years, his subtle navigation of the reigns of Edward VI and Mary I, his lifelong enmity with Mary Queen of Scots, and his obsession with family dynasty.
