      "During a life of over 80 years, Bess rose from being a Derbyshire farmers daughter with 400 acres to become Elizabeth Countess of Shrewsbury with 400,000 acres. The life and times of Bess of Hardwick is in every way an epic life-telling. Midst all this she would marry four times, become a Lady-in-Waiting and confidante of Queen Elizabeth 1st jailor to Mary Queen of Scots, even spend time herself in The Tower of London and become the founding mother of the Cavendish dynasty, the Dukes of Devonshire. Three of the most iconic women of the age: Elizabeth Tudor Queen of England, Mary Stuart Queen of Scots and Bess Hardwick The Commoner Queen embroidered into the same tapestry - when all about them were men. Over 400 years later the Bess legacy lives on today through the countrys most titled and wealthiest families notably via the Cavendish-Bentinck line to Queen Elizabeth II."
