Dorothy Devereux - 2


* * *

When Henry was imprisoned in the Tower, for allegedly
conspiring in the Gunpowder plot,

Dorothy is said to have confronted Sir Robert Cecil (Secretary of State)
in the palace gardens,
demanding to have her husband released
in a
torrent of words,
reportedly going on to rail at the King himself.

Cecil made a complaint to Henry about her.
