Shakespeare's Candidate - Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlow and Edward Devere have all been put forward as possible authors of Shakespeare's plays. The problem with Marlow is that he was killed on the 30th of May 1593 by Ingram Freiser in a tavern brawl. So you have to see that his death was a fake, maybe some political espionage intrigue at the motivation of Sir Thomas Walsingham. Because Marlow couldn't bear not to articulate his genius, he had to keep writing plays. So he uses Shakespeare as a cover for his true identity.
