There are many people to thank for their support in writing this book. My agent, Andrew Lownie, showed unwavering enthusiasm for the proposal through its many early forms. Richard Milbank at Head of Zeus and Mark Hawkins-Dady have also helped to transform and shape the book into its final form.

I cannot thank the staff at the British Library and The National Archives at Kew enough for their assistance, with the bulk of the research for this book carried out in their reading rooms. Similarly, the staff at the other archives consulted were always unfailingly helpful and knowledgeable.

I could not have written
The Temptation of Elizabeth Tudor
without the support of my family, in particular my husband David, and sons Dominic and Barnaby. My parents, Liss and Robin, have also always provided encouragement, as have my mother-in-law, Thirza, and my sister, Jo, who both very kindly provided additional childcare!

Lastly, but most importantly, I must thank my friend, Alison, who so kindly suggested the topic for the book over one of our long Tudor-related discussions.
