- catalog abstract ""In the tumultuous decades which followed the English civil war an extraordinary aristocratic couple, Henry and Mary Somerset, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, survived the social upheaval by creating a remarkable political partnership.

It also brings to life Henry Somerset (1629-1700) and Mary Capel Somerset (1630-1715), two complex and unique individuals."--Jacket.".
