William Cavendish, courageous, cultured and passionate about women,
embodies the popular image of a cavalier. Famously defeated at the
Battle of Marston Moor in 1644, he went into a long and miserable
continental exile before returning to England in triumph on the
restoration of King Charles II to the throne in 1660. Lucy Worsley
brings to life a fascinating household of the 17th century,
painting a picture of conspiracy, sexual intrigue, clandestine
marriage and gossip. From Ben Jonson and Van Dyck to a savage,
knife-wielding master-cook, Cavalier is a brilliant illumination of
the stately home in England and all its many colourful inhabitants.
