About this book
The Curious Case of Lady Purbeck is subtitled A Scandal of the XVIIth Century. The preface says the case is presented without embellishment, much as it has been found in old books and old manuscripts, chiefly at the Record Office and at the British Museum.
The text says that shortly before Coke had marked the young and lovely Lady Elizabeth Hatton for his own, Bacon had not only paid his court to her in person. The text says the beautiful heiress showed no inclination to marry Francis Bacon, and was backed up in this disinclination by her relatives, the Cecils. The text says that during the summer of the following year (1624), Purbeck seems to have recovered his sanity, but only for a time, although a considerable time. Purbeck called the boy Robert Villiers and would not allow him to be spoken of as Robert Wright.
