December 1592 CE

William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, has strengthened his hold over Elizabeth I in his two decades as Lord high Treasurer; in 1592, he collapses (possibly from a stroke or heart attack).

Robert, his only surviving son by his second wife, is well prepared to step into his father’s shoes as the Queen's principal adviser.
