The Mystery of Arthur Dudley A secret heir to the English throne… or one of the cleverest impostors in Tudor history?
In 1587, a young Englishman was captured by Spanish sailors off the coast of San Sebastián. He called himself Arthur Dudley, and claimed to be the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
Was he the Virgin Queen’s hidden child, smuggled away in infancy to protect a royal scandal?
Or a spy sent by Walsingham’s network on the eve of war with Spain?
Join me as I uncover the astonishing story of Arthur Dudley - his confession, his captivity, and the enduring mystery that still haunts Elizabeth’s legend.
Listen until the end and decide for yourself: heir, hoax, or Tudor agent?
