Some great lives may be forgotten - others must be. "Francis of Verulam is author of all the plays heretofore published by Marlowe, Greene, Peele, Shakespeare. Some are altered to continue the history."(F.B.)

The would-be tyrannical nature of the Queen is eclipsed only by the Macchiavellian machinations of her chief ally, Robert Cecil.
