A profile of the chief minister and counsellor of Elizabeth I whose term of office, unequalled in English history for its length and for its significance, lasted for 40 years. Burghley, in partnership with the queen, brought a measure of political stability and confidence to a demoralised country,divided by religious conflict, facing deep economic problems, and under threat of foreign invasion. The achievements, and the dynamics, of their partnership is at the heart of this welcome reassessment.
