Penelope Devereux was the brightest star who ever shone in the court of Elizabeth I in 16th-century England. She was the most beautiful woman of her generation and muse to countless poets and musicians, yet her story ended in tragedy: she died in disgrace, a widow, outcast from court, and stripped of all her titles.
