Linked from this Flash Fiction Online staff news/notes page. Really funny depictions. My favorite is 'death by poisoned wig'

Was Queen Elizabeth the first targeted with a poisoned dress only some lady in waiting tried it on first?

That sounds incredibly familiar - maybe it was the plot in an alt. hist. book somewhere? I'll poke around in my books...

I remember it well also, and did a little digging. The movie Elizabeth starring Cate Blanchett includes a scene where Knollys dies from a poisoned dress, however this appears to have been artistic license and not based on an actual event pertinent to the story.

I guess I have to steal a bunch of these for my story ideas. They are imaginative.....<g>
