Hi A. Phoenix. 

Thanks to your brilliant reconstruction of the events surrounding Lord Bacon's 'death' and the fact that there is no evidence that his body was buried in St Michael's, I'm coming round to the distinct possibility that to escape further persecution from Charles and Buckingham, he arranged his own disappearance.

Said to be by Paul Van Somer, it had to have been painted before 1621 when the artist died. Private collection.

Bunten suggests that the monument in St Michael's wasn't erected until 15 years or so after Lord Bacon's supposed death.

She also mentions that Sir Thomas Meautys was buried in St Michael's Church, St Albans.

Alice Chambers Bunten's biography of Meautys (page 8):

I have for a long time known April 9, 1626 as being Easter Sunday the day Bacon died. It's Day 99 of the year.

But I found out today most easy to find date based websites have April 12 as Easter Sunday in 1626. I suppose both may be right depending on the calendar, but I do want to clear the fog in my brain.

Easter this year is on April 9 and is quickly approaching. 🙂

Oh, I just answered my own question, but will share for anyone else who feels confused. LOL

EDIT: Further poking around the Julian calendar...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar

The Gregorian calendar was soon adopted by most Catholic countries (e.g., Spain, Portugal, Poland, most of Italy). Protestant countries followed later, and some countries of eastern Europe even later. In the British Empire (including the American colonies), Wednesday 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday 14 September 1752. For 12 years from 1700 Sweden used a modified Julian calendar, and adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1753.

So for Bacon, in England, among Protestants, the Julian calendar was expected. So Easter 1626 was April 9 as is this year, 2023.

Thank you Rob,

Glad you sorted this out.

We have the date 9th April as Easter Sunday in 1626 because of Rawley. It was Rawley who said ‘He died, on the 9th. Day of Aprill, in the year: 1626; In the early Morning, of the Day, then celebrated, for our Saviours Resurrection; In the 66th. year of his Age; At the Earle of Arundells House, in High-gate, near London;’ Unthinkable a man of the cloth would have got this wrong. At first, we thought Dr Rawley a divine who would very much have known his scriptures was being mischievous and leaving another clue. Didn’t consider the different calendars.

The Thursday in the Gregorian calendar is symbolic though - known for the Last Supper with his disciples and his betrayal.

Thanks for clearing this up Rob!
