It has an enlarged Chapter 1 on the Tatton family in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, including the feud between William Tatton (1540-1611) and his son Robert (1560-1623) and their connections to the Earls of Derby, and to the spy networks of Francis Walsingham and the Cecils (Lord Burghley and the Earl of Salisbury).
