It is reported that his friend and confidant Francis Bacon warned him to avoid offending the Queen by attempting to gain power and underestimating her ability to rule and wield power.[citation needed] Essex did underestimate the Queen, however, and his later behaviour towards her lacked due respect and showed disdain for the influence of her principal secretary, Robert Cecil. On one occasion during a heated Privy Council debate on the problems in Ireland, the Queen reportedly cuffed an insolent Essex round the ear, prompting him to half draw his sword on her.[9]
