  Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Pembroke, Dorset and Montgomery (1590-1676), was one of the most renowned ladies of the Stuart era. In this attractively illustrated and scholarly biography, Dr Spence critically appraises her life and outlook: her childhood in the royal court; her close association with the leading political, artistic and literary figures of the time after her marriage to Richard Sackville, Earl of Dorset; her tempestuous marriage with her second husband, Philip Herbert, Earl of Pembroke; and her struggle in later life to win the baronial rifles and estates in the north of England of her famous father, George Clifford, Queen Elizabeth's champion.
