Abstract
Death and The Virgin by Chris Skidmore (ISBN 978 0 297846 650-5) sub-titled Elizabeth Dudley and the Mysterious Fate of Amy Robsart is published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson of London. This book is by a history teacher at Bristol University and discusses the death of the wife of Queen Elizabeth's favourite courtier, Robert Dudley, who was found lying dead at the foot of the staircase with a broken neck. Did Dudley kill his wife in order to continue to flirt with Queen Elizabeth I? Perhaps the newly discovered coroner's report gives an answer.
To coincide with the Olympics in London in 2012 we are hoping to publish an issue dealing with the Olympics. The Editor would welcome approaches from those who might wish to contribute a paper, giving a short outline of the proposal.
