| The life of Sir John Danvers A Biography by Bernard Mayston |
||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||
| The author traces John Danvers' obscure birth of noble lineage to courtier of three sovereigns: enthralling and intriguing existence at the centre of political life; leading parliamentarian; regicide judge who took a day off from the King's trial to marry his third wife; designer and innovative importer of Italian gardens; companion of intellectuals, poets and divines; profligate spender and debtor who dissipated the family fortune and sold the Danby estate. His peaceful death was followed by burial in a mystery that mirrored his birth. | ||||||||||||||||
| The biography is being published in seven parts by Dr Ron Lampard of Danby. Part 1 Origins and Early Years, and Part 2 In the Shadow of His Military Brothers, are now available.
