Note 65 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
See for particulars of the life of Amy Robsart, Mr. George Adlard’s interesting volume, Amye Robsart and the Earl of Leycester, John Russell Smith, London, 1870. Mr. Adlard had not access to the Simancas Papers, and was therefore not aware of the rumours rife in London at the time of the unfortunate lady’s accident or murder. Amy Robsart did not, as Scott tells us, belong to a Devonshire family, but to a very ancient Norfolk house.
