Wicked murders and political woes from a crowded era
A woman poisons her husband amid a string of confessions and trials. Reports detail executions in Mary Bird’s wake, moral reckonings, and a neighbor’s criminal conversations. Abroad, treaties, court intrigues, and fleet movements unfold with pagan zeal and royal pageantry.
