history

Essex (from Old English "East Seaxe", "East Saxons") was one of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The 2nd Earl of Essex (Robert Devereux, 罗伯特·德弗罗) was Queen Elizabeth I's last great favorite, executed in 1601 after a failed rebellion. Today Essex is also famous in pop culture via the reality show The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE).
