Description

Paints a picture of friendship, exile, betrayal, murder, adultery, infamy, alchemy and scandal in royal and courtly circles. Buckingham was brought up in court with the two kings, James II and Charles II - his own father. The author investigates why Charles remained true to his childhood friend despite Buckingham's ingratitude.
