Abstract
The Earl of Essex's Galliard by John Dowland (1563-1626) is an arrangement of the lute-song Can she excuse my wrongs which tells of Robert Deveraux, Earl of Essex and sometime commander of the English army against O'Neill. He fell out of favour with Elizabeth I, due in part to his lack of success against O'Neill, and was eventually executed.
