There is a story, probably apocryphal, that William Shakespeare was spirited out of England to Scotland or perhaps Germany to avoid prosecution for the sedition that Cecil saw in Richard II and Henry IV, Part 1. Ben Jonson and Christopher Marlowe were suspected. Robert Cecil, the Lord Privy Seal for Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Elizabeth herself, adjudged those scenes to be seditious and set out to discover the true identity. The question of the true authorship of Shakespeare's plays began when the play Richard II was performed in 1600 with some scenes included that were not in the printed 1598 edition (those scenes were included in the 1608 edition). Thus the plays were credited to Shakespeare, who was merely a front to shield the identity of Bacon. Various explanations are offered for this alleged subterfuge, most commonly that Bacon's rise to high office might have been hindered were it to become known that he wrote plays for the public stage. The Baconian theory of Shakespeare authorship holds that Sir Francis Bacon, philosopher, essayist and scientist, wrote the plays which were publicly attributed to William Shakespeare. I can't specifically remember the allegations myself, essentially Lui was both verbally and mentally abusive towards his girlfriends, and essentially when they wouldn't do what Lui wanted them to do, he'd end up gaslighting them.Sir Francis Bacon was the first alternative candidate proposed as the author of Shakespeare's plays and was the most popular alternative candidate in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I'm a little late to the party here, but chose to come here instead of making a seperate thread.
