Born during the reign of Elizabeth I, Lucy and Dorothy Percy came to prominence at the court of Charles I. Lucy, the Countess of Carlisle, dominated the royal scene. Her beauty was immortalized in magnificent Van Dyck portraits, her political skills attracted many famous lovers, and her talent as a gossip ensured her inclusion in the queen s inner circleuntil civil war and its machinations led to her imprisonment in the Tower of London.Her sister, Dorothy, Countess of Leicesterwife of a diplomat and an ancestor of Princess Dianamanaged the family estates and raised twelve surviving children. Though brilliant, with a keen eye and special purview of European politics, she had a reputation as a shrewish wife and, when her husband rebelled after thirtyfive years of marriage, it caused a public scandal.Viewing a tempestuous era through the exceptional lives of Lucy and Dorothy Percy, LitaRose Betcherman s Court Lady and Country Wife offers a perfect window into a remarkable world.
