The Feigned Death of Lord Bacon


A Phoenix

Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

Back on topic, I recently came across an article by Ella Horsey (BACONIANA Vol. XXXV No. 140 July 1951) that not only challenges the view that Francis's marriage was a failure, but argues that his wife may have played a central role in the feigning of his own death. My apologies to anyone who has already read the article, but for those who haven't, like myself, it is interesting to hear a cogent interpretation of Francis Bacon's marriage to Alice Barnham written by a female Baconian. It presents his intimate life, not as a failure due to his neglect and Alice's capriciousness, but in a much more positive light.

Francis Carr one of my Great Mentors.  He proved to me to be more sane than most by putting it out there about Don Quixote and Bacon and Shakespeare.  It rocks the core, and Carr is Right about their Connections. Carr also shared with me the Best WWII stories when he was stationed in Italy.  I am Grateful  to have gone on several Bacon jaunts with Francis Carr and his son Philip  who allowed sirbacon.org to post his father's book "Who Wrote Don Quixote?"

Philip was very kind to me and allowed me to reprint the parallelisms from Who Wrote Don Quixote?

Hi A. Phoenix

In trying to work out the distance Lord Bacon had to travel from Gray's Inn to Arundel House, Highgate, I came across a drawing of the Banqueting House in the gardens of  the Earl of Arundel's estate in Highgate. It is claimed (see below) that it was here in one of the rooms of the Banqueting House that Francis Bacon died. What is so strange is that the drawing of the Earl of Arundel's Banqueting House is almost identical to the drawing of Verulam House. Could it have been the case that there were two very similar structures, one at Gorhambury and one in Highgate? I also found John Aubrey's watercolour rendering of Verulam House (Vol II, "Brief Lives"), but it is not very revealing.

Hi Eric,

The piece contains some very unusual information and suggestions relating to Lord Bacon, the Earl of Arundel, Arundel House, and its Banqueting House, one very similar to FB's Banqueting House. Just a quick thought, the Earl of Arundel was a secret member of Lord Bacon's Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood and was elected Grand Master of England in 1632  (Anderson, Constitutions, 1738, pp. 99-100), and the Banqueting House may have housed a Rosicrucian-Freemasonic Lodge.
