 Sir Walter Raleigh was the man who epitomised Renaissance gallantry. His reputation as a poet, adventurer and favourite of the virgin Queen has survived four centuries but a new book reveals the tenacious wife behind his public persona - and the role which she played - both supporting him throughout his life and ensuring his reputation after his execution.
Historian Anna Beer joins Martha to talk about why she thinks Lady Bess Ralegh became such a remarkable survivor in an uncertain political age.
Bess: The Life of Lady Raleigh, Wife to Sir Walter by Anna Beer is published by Constable & Robinson; ISBN: 1841195421
