Epilogue
Robert Devereaux, Earl of Essex, was not hanged, drawn, and quartered.
He fell to the headsman's axe, as befitted his rank,
25 February 1601.
Southampton was spared from execution by the Queen's mercy, but he was only
released from the Tower on April 10, 1603 - three weeks after she died. He
was set free and commanded to present himself to King James, who greeted
him warmly. He died of a fever in 1624.
