		Amy Dudley, daughter of Sir John Robsart, a wealthy Norfolk landowner, was the wife of the Elizabethan statesman Robert Dudley, later Earl of Leicester.
		Amy stayed at Christchurch (though it cannot be established that Robert was there too or that she visited him at the house Elizabeth had granted him at Kew) and with her mother's relations at Camberwell.
		Amy was buried in the chancel of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, her body having been first taken to Gloucester (Worcester) College.

		ROBSART, the maiden name of Lady Amy Dudley (1532-1560), wife of Lord Robert Dudley, afterwards earl of Leicester.
		She was the daughter of Sir John Robsart of Norfolk, and was married to Lord Robert on the 4th of June 1550.
		The marriage was apparently arranged by the family for business reasons, and there is no ground for supposing that it was a love match, or that she was beautiful.

		In the case of the unfortunate death of Amy Robsart (and regardless of what else you may believe, we can at least agree that it was unfortunate), the controversy surely did not begin with the document known as "Leicester's Commonwealth," but it therein took on its most tangible and full-bodied form.
		Amy's state of mind during this time, about 1560, was one of "desperation," or so one of her maids claimed that Amy herself had said.
		It might be reasonable to suppose that Amy was ill, as was rumoured, and in a moment of delirium â” or maybe needing assistance but finding no one within earshot in the nearly empty house â” she wandered to the top of the staircase, where, weakened by the exertion, she fainted.

	Amy ROBSART
		Amy Robsart was the only legitimate child of Sir John Robsart, Lord of the Manor of Syderstone in Norfolk, by Elizabeth the daughter of John Scott of Camberwell (Surrey) - and widow of Roger Appleyard (d.
		Pinto, Lady Amy's maid, said that she had heard her mistress "pray to God to deliver her from desperation", and, although she tried to remove the impression of suicide which her words excited, Dudley's reported relations with Elizabeth go far to account for Lady Amy's alleged depression.
		Lady Amy's death undoubtedly removed the chief obstacle to the marriage of the Queen with Dudley, and the influential persons at court, who were determined that Elizabeth should not take this disastrous step, naturally exaggerated the rumours of Dudley's guilt in order to disqualify him from becoming the Royal consort.

	Syderstone - Village History
		In the 16th century Syderstone Hall was the home of Sir John Robsart, Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, and his daughter, Amy, whose initials are still to be seen in the churchyard gate and over the entrance to the Norman church tower.
		In 1549 Amy Robsart married Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and her mysterious death in 1560 led to suspicion that she had been murdered so that Robert might marry Elizabeth I - a suspicion which became the subject of Sir Walter Scott's novel “Kenilworth”.
		Amy’s ghost was seen at the Old Hall shortly after her death and continued to appear there until the Hall was demolished, whereupon her ghost moved across to the nearby Rectory, where windows opened of their own accord and other poltergeist activity was reported.

	Tudor Q and A: Question from Victoria - Amy Robsart and Robert Dudley's relationship
		Do you believe there ever was love between Amy Robsart abd Robert Dudley when they were first married and before he became favored by the Queen.
		Without some direct documentary statement from the hand of Amy Robsart or Robert Dudley to suggest otherwise, it is doubtful that the match was based on "love" rather than property and increasing Dudley's wealth.
		Amy was her father's sole legitimate heir, and when the marital contract was arranged, her father agreed that his entire estate would pass to her.
