Summary

[edit]
Description

Robert Dudley 1532/1533 – 1588, was 1st Earl of Leicester and was one of Queen Elizabeth's leading statesmen. His first wife, Amy Robsart, fell down a flight of stairs and died in 1560. It was rumoured he would marry the Queen (to whom he was always close), but he later married Lettice Knollys. He led a full life as Master of The Horse and Privy Councillor, as well as a patron of the arts. He had an illegitimate son and another, Robert, who died as a child (also buried in the chapel). He was close to his brother Ambrose who is also buried in the chapel.

The monument was erected by Lettice, and she was buried there when she died in 1634.
