Elizabethan Secret Agent: The Untold Story of William Ashby
(1536-1593) is the biography of William Ashby, Elizabethan
intelligence agent and diplomat who served as ambassador to
Scotland during the Spanish Armada crisis. It provides a fresh
social, political and foreign policy insight from the perspective
of a gentleman spy who took part in some of the most important
events of his time. Much of the book is focused on the
Anglo-Scottish geo-political relationship during the decade of
1580-1590, with its machinations and bizarre background stories.
Prior to Ashby's ambassadorial appointment, he served as a senior
'intelligencer' for Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth's spymaster.
