What most people are still debating to this day, is the fact of who truly wrote Shakespeare's plays, and this does tie William Shakespeare to Queen Elizabeth the First. As most people know, Queen Elizabeth's mother was Anne Boleyn, and Anne Boleyn was wrongly accused of adultery. Before her execution for that wrong mistake, Anne gave birth to Elizabeth (who will become Queen Elizabeth the First). When Elizabeth was a teenager around 1548 or 1549, she was living with in the home of Catherine Parr, who was the last wife of Henry VIII. Catherine had remarried and there was something involving Catherine Parr's husband or another man. Some sort of impropriety. No one seems to know what really had happened, but Elizabeth was forced to leave the house afterward. This information leads people to assume that Elizabeth had become pregnant. There is also no proof of Edward de Vere and Elizabeth, or why they were so close. Most people to this day still think they were lovers. They were 17 years apart, and women at that time had kids really young. The reason most people think that Edward de Vere wrote William Shakespeare's plays is mainly because William Shakespeare had a very simple life, and often stayed at his home while Edward de Vere had a very nomadic lifestyle, traveling from place to place. William Shakespeare was a merchant. He had a grammar-school education and wasn't well traveled as we know. Yet why would Edward de Vere write those plays and keep it a secret?? If Edward de Vere wrote all of those plays, yet he was Elizabeth's son, he couldn't put his name on any of his works. The royals believed that play-writing was beneath them. If Edward de Vere was Queen Elizabeth's son, it would have been more important to hide his authorship. She wouldn't have wanted him to attract attention. It might have exposed their relationship. It is known that Edward de Vere was a great favorite of Queen Elizabeth's. His father died when he was really young, and he was raised by one of her top advisers. When Edward de Vere was an adult, Elizabeth gave him an allowance of a thousand pounds a year, which can equal to around $700,000 dollars now. Most people believe that Elizabeth gave that money to Edward de Vere because she did not want him to make it known to the public that he was the author of the plays, and they paid William Shakespeare to take credit for the plays.
The Secret Service, which started as a covert organization in 1600, in England, and served as a means of conducting tax free business. A deal gone wrong occurred and Walter Raleigh was sent to prison for 5 years. William Shakespeare evidently had a hand in this. A bitter rivalry began at this point. Eventually, Sir Raleigh was freed from prison, and then traveled to the new colonies in North America. When he returned to Stratford England, William Shakespeare died quite suddenly after a night of eating and drinking in a local pub. He became violently ill and was dead in a matter of hours. None of his companions were ill, and it was suspected that he had been poisoned. Sir Walter Raleigh was staying with family in the village that evening. He was not at the pub........
Henry was one of Shakespeare's patron of poets, and is best known for that.
