Abstract

After a marriage linking them floundered, the feuding Lake and Cecil families hurled terrible accusations at each other: adultery, incest, poisoning, impotence, fraud. The resulting scandals impacted the court of King James I and beyond. Luthman's study of the scandals provides a window into the culture, society, and politics of Jacobean England.
