Abstract
Sir walter ralegh was at this time, if we assume that he was born in 1554, as is probable, about twenty-seven. The Queen, perhaps it is impolite to recall, was twenty years older. Mais ça n’empêche pas, and all through the 1580’s and until his secret marriage in 1592 Ralegh was in prime favour with his sovereign mistress: the twelve years’ warfare in love, as he described it, with characteristic exaggeration, after his fall.
