Aprašymas
A gripping biography of a woman who risked everything for the crown.
Jane Whorwood (1612 - 1684) was more than just a bystander; she was one of Charles I's most trusted confidantes. Daughter of Scots courtiers and wife of an Oxfordshire squire, Jane found herself at the heart of the English Civil War when the court moved to Oxford in 1642.
Discover how she became a key player, spying for the king and masterminding the smuggling of a fortune in gold to fund his army. Uncover her daring efforts to free Charles from Parliamentarian captivity, navigating treacherous political currents and even sharing a wartime 'brief encounter' with the monarch. This is the story of a woman whose courage and loyalty changed the course of history. Perfect for readers of British history and true stories of espionage.
