Summary:[...]at the end of the book is an appended set of information about Spanish and Imperial ambassadors in England, 1603-25. Samson's introduction mentions my article in the The Historical Journal 45 (2002) on these matters, the argument of which he describes as "consecrated," yet at the same time "supplemented if not supplanted" by Glyn Redworth's book, The Prince and the Infanta (1). Because neither treatment is entirely satisfying, the significance of the escapade remains open to further research and debate. [...]all this is to criticize the book that wasn't written. [...]for anyone drawn to these matters, this text remains a real contribution to the field, an essential work to read, ponder, and consult repeatedly as needed.
