Format: Hardback

Number of Pages:


Historical Enigmas is a mystery novel written by Hugh Ross Williamson and published by Michael Joseph. Hugh Ross Williamson gave a series of brilliant broadcasts on some of the mysteries of the past. Using the techniques of modern detection, he set about finding answers to such questions as: Did Buckingham poison James I? Who was the executioner of Charles I? Who was the Man in the Iron Mask? Re-evaluating the evidence, alert alike to the distortions of contemporary and more recent propaganda, working out probabilities in the light of character and motive, but careful never to contradict known facts, he came up with answers that were controversial and stimulating. Could William Rufus have been a pagan sacrificial victim? Was Queen Elizabeth an accessory to the murder of Amy Robsart? Could Queen Victoria's accession have been delayed had Queen Caroline's trial revealed more?
