The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

If I hadn't been reading this for a challenge, I probably wouldn't have finished it. These old historicals are rife with stuff I don't want to read (see the content warnings). This one also had some plot points that were too far for me to stretch my credulity.
For example, not tying up the traitor once they had been identified, leaving them free to continue to aid the bad guys. And the magical generation-skipping birthmark in a world where no magic was evident to that point. And the mother who didn't share with her daughter until a year later that she'd been drugged, not raped (at least not that first time).
