 oyal and political life. Favourite of James 1st and Charles 1st\, detested
  by Parliament\, acclaimed as the most beautiful man in Europe\, and event
 ually murdered by a Suffolk man.\n\nWith a novelist’s touch\, Lucy Hughe
 s-Hallett transports us into a courtly world of masques and dancing\, exqu
 isite clothes\, the art of Rubens and Van Dyck who painted Villiers\, gend
 er-fluidity\, same-sex desire and appallingly rudimentary medicine.\n\nIn 
 conversation with Catherine Larner\n\nAbout the author\n\nLucy Hughes-Hall

  won the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non Fiction\, the Costa Biography Award\
