Program Description

Details

Elizabethan Secret Agent is the untold story of an Elizabethan ‘gentleman spy’ – a well-educated, socially-connected adventurer who merged espionage and diplomacy. A trusted protégé of Sir Francis Walsingham – the Queen´s spy master – William Ashby was a key figure in Anglo-Scottish relations during his tenure as English ambassador to the Court of King James VI from 1588 to 1590. 

Dr. Timothy Ashby will present an authentic look at life in the 16th century, both in England and Scotland as well as continental Europe.
