The so called 'Virgin' Queen and the Secret Concealed Royal Birth of Francis Bacon

The Double Phoenix of Queen Elizabeth & her Concealed Son Francis Bacon

In the climax to the closing scene of his Shakespeare play Henry VIII Bacon puts in the mouth of Cranmer a great speech in which he prophesises that the baby Princess Elizabeth, although described as a ‘maiden phoenix’ shall leave behind her a son and heir. The speech doubles as a veiled record of the state secret that the so-called Virgin Queen carried a royal child, as conveyed in the Pregnancy Portrait at Hampton Court, and gave birth to a concealed heir, Bacon-Shakespeare, ‘as great in fame as she was’:

I'm speechless! The second half of the stanza from the word Peace is an extraordinary vision: "and make new nations".

[A Phoenix]

Hi Eric,

In my view this is one of the greatest and revelatory passages in the whole of the Shakespeare canon which reveals to those with eyes to see that Lord Bacon with his Rosicrucian Brotherhood will create new nations (USA, etc) and in the fullnes of time bring about a Universal Reformation of the Whole World.

Bacon makes a bold and powerful statement here about his life. I hope to study it more and do some counts but my workload is heavy right now.

EDIT:

Amazing how overt Bacon was in these lines speaking on his Virgin birth.

Who, from the sacred Ashes of her Honour

Shall Star-like rise, as great in fame as she was,

And so stand fix'd. Peace, Plenty, Loue, Truth, Terror,

That were the Seruants to this chosen Infant,

Shall then be his, and like a Vine grow to him;

Where euer the bright Sunne of Heauen shall shine,

His Honour, and the greatnesse of his Name,

Shall be, and make new Nations. He shall flourish,

And like a Mountaine Cedar, reach his branches,

To all the Plaines about him: Our Childrens Children

Shall see this, and blesse Heauen.

The Disguised Phoenix of the United States of America  

 In his magnum opus The Secret Teaching of the Ages the American esoteric philosopher Manly P. Hall says the mystical phoenix ‘is the mythological Persian roc’, the gigantic mythological bird described in the Arabian Nights, and as we have seen in the portrait, the phoenix-like Elizabeth is wearing a Persian Robe under a Persian or Arabian Tree. The mystical phoenix Hall reveals is the most celebrated of the symbolic creatures in the ancient mysteries used as a cover ‘for the purpose’, he says, ‘of concealing the great truths of esoteric philosophy’, and he may well have added, history too. He also states that the eagle on the Great Seal of the United States of America is a disguised phoenix. In the revealing maiden-phoenix passage in Henry VIII, speaking of himself as heir of the so-called Virgin Queen, Bacon states he will make new nations in reference to Virginia (named after the Virgin Queen), site of the first permanent settlement in North America which became the United States of America. Her son, Francis Bacon, Founding Father of the United States of America.

The Latin Inscriptions on the Pregnancy Portrait

Down the trunk of the Persian tree, linked to the Arabian tree in the Phoenix and the Turtle and cedar tree in Henry VIII that shall spread his branches, under which Queen Elizabeth stands in the Pregnancy Portrait, appear three important Latin inscriptions. The first of these:

                                                   Iniusti Justa querela

is translated by Sir Roy Strong as ‘A just complaint of injustice’.

The Second Inscription

The middle motto ‘Mea sic mihi’ that Sir Roy Strong translates as ‘Thus to me my’, which with Queen Elizabeth standing alongside may mean ‘Thus to me my Queen’.

Dr Altrocchi presents the following interpretation ‘Thus what is mine should be mine, namely the Queen.’

                                                                   The Third Inscription
The third motto which has been damaged and is slightly illegible and according to Dr Altrocchi intentionally interfered with has proved problematic in its translation.

Sir Roy Strong believed it was Italian ‘Dolor est medicina (e) d[o]lori’ [grief is medicine for grief] whereas Dr Altrocchi insisted it was entirely in Latin and when magnified reads ‘Dolor est medicina ed tori’ which after a very convoluted discussion he concluded could be translated as ‘Anguish is part of the healing process for foster parentage’

The most probable explanation and translation is provided by David Shakespeare. On closely examining the motto and the current spacing in the lettering he restored the motto to read ‘Dolor est medicina doloris’ [pain is pain’s medicine]. This is a quotation from Dionysii Catonis, better known as Cato in a work entitled Disticha de Moribus ad Filium that translates as ‘words of wisdom for the behaviour of a son’. The advice was given in couplet form:

Hi A.P.  

"A just complaint of injustice". "What is mine should be mine". And "pain is pain's medicine". As we all know, the repetition within each phrase - just /  mine /  pain - is a favourite device of the author the "Shakespeare" plays. In addition, all three phases could be interpreted as pertaining to Francis Bacon's suffering due to his mother's denial of him as her true son.

Am I on the right track?

[A Phoenix]

Hi Eric, 

We completely agree with you that the Latin inscriptions reflect the pain of its author vis-a-vis his mother, a pain that was also dramtically transmuted through the much wider canvases of his great tragedies Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear.

Perhaps being a good parent is incompatible with royalty. Francis's immense creativity would have been stifled had he grown up as the Prince of Wales. "Pain is pain's medicine" indeed.

[A Phoenix]

Hi Eric,

I have always believed that despite his incomparable, immeasurable and transcendent intellect, that a critical part of the reason why he was such a great man and the best poet and dramatist of all time, is because of the life he had, the emotional and psychological pain, the loss and betrayal, the fear and all the uncertainty, which somehow he was able to pour into his immortal Shakespeare works.

Hi A Phoenix

This quotation reminds me of you:

[A Phoenix]

Hi Eric,

Those words certainly resonate. Once you truly fully engage with the multi-dimensional aspects of Lord Bacon, the man, his secret life and his writings, acknowledged or otherwise, and everything it involves, to profoundly love and admire him is absolutely irresistable. Once he has captured you-it lasts a lifetime.

The Weeping Stag

In the heart of the portrait the hand of Queen Elizabeth is stretched out over the head of the weeping stag who Dr Altrocchi and David Shakespeare have correctly pointed out represents the individual who commissioned the painting.

Queen Elizabeth and the Stag a Symbolic Representation of the Earl of Essex

Dr Altrocchi and David Shakespeare identify the weeping stag as Edward de Vere, seventeenth Earl of Oxford yet according to Sir Roy Strong around 1600-1 ‘there is only one certain candidate for this role, the fallen Robert Devereux, 2^nd Earl of Essex.’

In other words Sir Roy Strong is certain (and he is right to be) that the true context of the portrait is to be found in the rarefied world of Queen Elizabeth and the events surrounding her complex relationship with the Earl of Essex, and the events that intensified during the 1590s leading to his fall and eventual execution on 25 February 1601. On Twelfth Night 1601 Sir Roy Strong informs his learned readers a play was presented before Queen Elizabeth with a ‘show’ accepted to be a performance of Ben Jonson’s Cynthia’s Revels, or as it was also called, ‘The Fountaine of Self-Loue’:

The Silence of Sir Roy Strong

At this point it should be very carefully noted that in his thirty-eight page article ‘“My Weeping Stagg I Crowne”: The Persian Lady Reconsidered’, the most well-known and read account on the subject, Sir Roy Strong does not once mention the name of Francis Bacon in any way whatsoever. This is all the more astonishing considering that during the 1590s (as was known to Strong) the life and biography of Bacon and Essex were so intertwined that full-length works have been written on the subject and which was also known to Strong the close and complex relationship which existed between them is central to the first two-volumes of Spedding’s standard work The Letters and Life of Francis Bacon.

I assume the reference to ‘darling piece of love and self-love’ is unfamiliar to even the most learned of listeners and the implications which flow from it.

Truth is Hidden in the Detail

In a reference tucked away at the back of his article Sir Roy Strong provides a note directing his readers to one of his earlier works The Cult of Elizabeth Elizabethan Portraiture and Pageantry wherein he sheds a little more light on the matter on the dramatic piece Of Love and Self Love:

The Curtain is Raised

It will be immediately apparent that the device referred to by Strong Love and Self-Love written by Bacon on behalf of Essex wherein The ambassadors of Philautia to Erophilus present their arguments to Erophilus’s squire before the Queen, presented before Elizabeth as part of the festivities celebrating her accession day 17 November 1595, is partly found in Spedding’s standard Letters and Life of Francis Bacon and the so-called Northumberland Manuscript.

The Northumberland Manuscript is the most important of all the contemporary documents of the Elizabethan period which is linked to the authorship of the Shakespeare works, and should simply be known for what it is; namely, Bacon’s own collection of MSS, parts of which have been removed, or lost in a fire, before it was made known to the world.

Thank you for sharing! So much quality knowledge presented every day! Lately my work has been overwhelming, but I still read and entertain new concepts throughout the day which keeps me happy.

Hope to have time tonight and this weekend to jump in! 🙂

The Bacon-Shakespeare Manuscript Formerly Known as The Northumberland Manuscript

In its present state it consists of a much scribbled outer-cover and a number of works in manuscript written by Bacon including:

Of Tribute, or giving that what is due written by Bacon most probably to be presented by the Earl of Essex as part of the celebrations for Elizabeth’s accession day in 1592.

[It comprises four speeches in praise of the worthiest virtue, Fortitude; the worthiest affection, Love; the worthiest power, Knowledge, and the worthiest person, his sovereign, Queen Elizabeth.]

And as referred to above Of Love and Self-Love written by Bacon on behalf of Essex presented before Queen Elizabeth as part of the celebration marking her accession day 17 November 1595.

 Also

A Speech for the Earl of Sussex at the Tilt addressed to Queen Elizabeth that was most likely written for the tilt at Whitehall on 17 November 1596.

It is also clear from the list of contents found on the outer-cover of Bacon’s collection of MSS that it also contained An Address or Letter to Queen Elizabeth and a copy of his Essays first printed in 1597 which he dedicated to his brother Anthony Bacon.

It also originally held a copy of his six speeches which formed part of the magnificent Christmas Gray’s Inn Revels of 1594-5 that saw the first known performance of his Shakespeare play The Comedy of Errors, and most importantly, it at one time, held priceless manuscript copies of his Shakespeare plays Richard II and Richard III. 

On the outer-cover containing its list of contents is a large mass of scribbled writings of the utmost importance and significance to the authorship of the Shakespeare works.

Down the left side of the page appears Honorificabiletudine a variant of the long word honorificabilitudinitatibus in Love’s Labour’s Lost (5:1:41).

Further down appears the line ‘revealing day through every crany peepes and see Shak’, essentially line 1086 of The Rape of Lucrece ‘revealing day through every cranny spies’.

Furthermore this is the only contemporary manuscript where the names of Bacon and Shakespeare appear together. In fact the name of Bacon/Francis Bacon and his pseudonym Shakespeare/William Shakespeare have been scribbled across its outer-cover on more than a dozen occasions. In particular above the entry for the Shakespeare play Richard II appears the entry ‘By Mr. ffrauncis William Shakespeare’, and further down the page the word ‘Your’ is twice written across his pseudonym William Shakespeare,- so it reads ‘Your William Shakespeare’.

The manuscript should be the most famous document relating to the authorship of the Shakespeare poems and plays in the world and known to all and sundry in every corner of the literary globe. The reason why this is not the case is since the time of its discovery the orthodox Shakespeare authorities and Shakespeare biographers and editors have systematically suppressed or misrepresented it.

Although for some reason Sir Roy Strong did not wish to draw to the attention of his readers the outer-cover and original contents of the Northumberland MSS, or Bacon’s collection of MSS, not least the Shakespeare plays Richard II and Richard III, at least we are now more able to appreciate fully its relation to the Pregnancy Portrait of Queen Elizabeth.

The Manuscript With References to Shakespeare Plays

The Northumberland Manuscript, or Bacon’s collection of MSS, dates no later than 1597, not least because his Essays once contained within it, were first printed in 1597 with a dedication to his brother Anthony Bacon.

The date of Bacon’s Northumberland MSS originally housing his Shakespeare plays Richard II and Richard III is of critical importance. The name of Shakespeare did not appear on a title page until 1598 with Love’s Labour’s Lost from which a variant of its long word is scribbled on the outer cover of the Northumberland Manuscript beneath which appears a line from The Rape of Lucrece.
