A Phoenix Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 The Treasons Act In 1571 parliament passed the Treasons Act which made it treason to intend bodily harm to the queen, or levy war or incite others to make war against her, to affirm she has no right to the crown, but some other person, or to publish the queen is a heretic, schismatic, tyrant, infidel, or usurper of the crown, or to claim right to the crown, or to affirm the right of succession of the crown in some other than the queen. Or to say the laws and statutes do not bind the descent or inheritance concerning the succession to the throne.

A Phoenix Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 William Camden The great Elizabethan historian William Camden (1551-1623) was twenty years old when this Act of Treason was passed by parliament. He entered Oxford in 1566 the year the Earl of Leicester celebrated his appointment as Chancellor of the University with a grand reception for Elizabeth. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 2 1 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 The Annals of Queen Elizabeth In the preface to his Annals of Queen Elizabeth it is clear that Camden is aware of the sensitivity of writing what was the first history and biography of Elizabeth with its repeated references to the Truth. Not unlike the Truth referred to by Dr Rawley in the Resuscitatio with its first English biography of Bacon (‘whereby, I shall not tread too near, upon the Heels of Truth; Or of the Passages, and Persons; then concerned’), and in the vein of Dr Rawley, he gives enough of a hint of the truth regarding the reason for the precise wording of the 1571 Act of Treason (as quoted above): #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 2 1 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Phoenix Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Natural Issue of her Body What Camden wanted to say was the specific intentions behind the change in wording in the 1571 Act of Treason was Elizabeth and Leicester wished to legally pave the way to ensure the acceptance of her natural issue if in future they decided to publicly name their rightful successor to the throne. Regarding any problems or disputes that may arise in gaining acceptance for her private marriage and first born child Elizabeth no doubt with the full support of Dudley refused to have the word ‘lawful’ annexed to the ‘natural issue of her body.’ The fact their first child was conceived out of wedlock would thus not lawfully prove an impediment and if circumstances allowed they had pre-empted any opposition to one day naming their royal heir. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Royal Son Sometime in September 1576 Bacon (as related through his word and biliteral cipher systems) learned he was the royal son of Queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. He had previously been entered at Gray’s Inn on 27 June fully expecting to commence his studies in law whereas the open facts of history show this did not occur and sometime in the autumn it was decided by Queen Elizabeth and Dudley that he was to be sent to France in the train of Sir Amias Paulet. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether their deaths were by accident or design, in both cases it left the way clear for royal lovers to marry. Except in Amy's case, her death and all the gossip about the Earl of Leicester may have finally prevented the Queen from marrying the father of her children. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Phoenix Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 France With all the preparations finally completed Sir Amias Paulet, English Ambassador-elect to France and his large entourage including Francis and painter Nicholas Hilliard prepared themselves for the journey across the Channel. The memory of his departure lived with Bacon for the rest of his days. Writing some two decades later in a letter to his cousin Cecil he refers to having served Elizabeth ‘for these one-and-twenty-years (for so it is that I kissed her Majesty’s hands upon my journey into France)’ and at the same time to his royal brother the Earl of Essex of serving ‘now these twenty years (for so long it is, and more, since I went with Sir Amyas Paulet into France, from her Majesty’s royal hand)’.

A Phoenix Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Early Shakespeare The three years Bacon spent in France are to the present day still shrouded in secrecy largely on account of his royal birth and his concealed authorship of the Shakespeare poems and plays-several of which are partly based in or relate to the French kingdom: Love’s Labour’s Lost, King John, I Henry VI, 3 Henry VI, Henry V, All’s Well That Ends Well and As You Like It with its pointed weeping stage scene as portrayed in the Pregnancy Portrait of Queen Elizabeth. Later in life he reckoned these years in France to have been among the most formative for his personal and intellectual development ‘I was’, he wrote ‘three of my young years bred with an ambassador in France’, a kingdom he evidently fell in love and with its princess Marguerite Valois his Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 1 2 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Nicholas Hilliard His close companion in Paris the miniature painter Nicholas Hilliard (1547-1619) had most probably known Bacon years before they both arrived in France in the train of Sir Amias Paulet. Sometime the early 1570s Hilliard was appointed goldsmith, jeweller and limner to Queen Elizabeth whom he painted on numerous occasions over the next years and decades. The first of his many portrait miniatures of Queen Elizabeth is dated 1572 and on 9 January 1573 he received the first of several royal promises of tithes with the grant of the reversion of a lease of the rectory and church of Cleve in Somerset and later in the October there is a warrant under the Privy Seal for payment of the large sum of £100 for some unspecified work. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 2 1 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 The Phoenix & Pelican Portraits The famous Phoenix and Pelican portraits of Elizabeth are believed to have been painted by Hilliard or under his direction in the same workshop and in 1576 Hilliard painted a miniature of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester the year he travelled to France with Bacon. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Tudor Family Portraits Sometime in 1578 Hilliard painted a miniature of Francis then in his eighteenth year with the following inscription ‘1578 Si tabula daretur digna/Animum mallem AE S 18’ (If only I could paint his mind). It is not known who commissioned the miniature of Francis. It may possibly have been commissioned by Sir Nicholas and Lady Anne Bacon or even by Francis himself, or more likely, it was commissioned by Hilliard’s royal patron Queen Elizabeth, the royal mother of the sitter. The likeness of the three miniatures of Queen Elizabeth, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and Francis all bear an unmistakable striking resemblance to each other (the true significance of which if not already known would no doubt not have been lost on a great artist like Hilliard). They simply look like what they are-three miniature portraits of a mother, father, and their son, namely Queen Elizabeth, her husband Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and Francis, the concealed Tudor, Prince of Wales and heir to the royal throne of England. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 2 1 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Phoenix Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Francis Bacon - Unacknowledged King of England In the Pregnancy Portrait Queen Elizabeth crowns Bacon there transmuted into the weeping stag and in the later painting of him as Lord Chancellor the cane in his hand points down to the braiding on the lower hem of his cloak which has been modelled to form a crown, befitting his royal status as the unacknowledged King of England. #ElizabethI #VirginQueen #RobertDudley #FrancisBacon #RobertDevereux #PregnancyPortrait #HamptonCourt #RoyStrong #FrancisCarr Paper https://www.academia.edu/45006558/The_Pregnancy_Portrait_of_Queen_Elizabeth_I_and_The_Secret_Royal_Birth_of_Francis_Bacon_Concealed_Author_of_the_Shakespeare_Works Part 1 https://youtu.be/AFSxRYGxgjk Part 2 https://youtu.be/HWpuy13KHiA 3 https://aphoenix1.academia.edu/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrY7wzlXnZiT1Urwx7jP6fQ/videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie Waldman Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Playing devil's advocate here, Francis Bacon repeatedly warned of the dangers and damage that could be done by unfounded rumors. We see it in the Shakespeare plays as well (see "Willilam Shakespeare Quotes About Rumors," https://www.azquotes.com/author/13382-William_Shakespeare/tag/rumor). So let us not be quick to condemn Robert Dudley of the murder of his wife. It could have been an accident. It could have been suicide. She may have had mental health issues. An inquest was held and her death was determined by a jury to be an accident (and, apparently, the matter was looked into again in 1567). I see that Christine Hartweg has written about the death of Amy Robsart at some length. https://allthingsrobertdudley.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/the-death-of-amy-robsart-accident-or-suicide/ https://allthingsrobertdudley.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/the-death-of-amy-robsart-the-improbability-of-murder/ and she self-published a book in 2017, Amy Robsart: A Life and its End. She does not hold with the idea that Dudley had his wife murdered. If it was murder, someone else could have done it, even an enemy of his, for it looks bad for him, even if he was innocent. He certainly had his enemies. All powerful people do, and he was close to the Queen. Maybe William Cecil was behind it, for he was not in favor of an Elizabeth-Dudley match. Leicester's Commonwealth was slander and propaganda. Dudley shared Elizabeth and Francis's love of the theatre. He supported the arts and education. He sponsored a troupe of players, the Earl of Leicester's Men, so they could legally perform. He was a patron of painters. Dr. Elizabeth Goldring wrote, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and the World of Elizabethan Art: Painting and Patronage at the Court of Elizabeth I (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2014), https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/ren/centrestaff/elizabethgoldring/dudleybook/. Here's Dr. Martin Maw, "Robert Dudley, midwife of Oxford University Press," June 24, 2012, https://blog.oup.com/2012/06/sir-robert-dudley-midwife-of-oxford-university-press/. No, he was not a perfect man, but there is good reason, I think, to keep an open-mind on him. I would really like to learn more about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
