Настоящая Миледи: Люси Хей, графиня Карлайл — шпионка, укравшая подвески королевы

She was called a beauty and a traitor, a devoted friend and a dangerous intriguer. Alexandre Dumas imbued her with the character of Milady de Winter, but Lucy Hay's real story proved far more complex than any literary character. She grew up in a family where her father spent 16 years in the Tower of London and her uncle was executed for rebellion against the queen. She married at the court of James I, became a close friend of Queen Henrietta Maria, allegedly passed information to Cardinal Richelieu, and warned members of Parliament at the right moment about her arrest – changing the course of events that led to the English Civil War. #historyofengland #miladydewinter #lucyhay #espionage #charles i #historicalfacts #countessofcarlisle #englishrevolution #dukeofbuckingham #richelieu #historyofthe17thcentury #threemusketeers #englishcourt #henriettamaria #Johnpym #toweroflondon
