by A. Phoenix.


downloads/aphoenix/PLAYS-FINAL.pdf

The beginning, experience and the evolving circumstances of the life and mind of a poet and dramatist inevitably pours itself into all great works of art. It illuminates every sinew of its portraiture and canvas infusing it with an unmistakable emotional, psychological and intellectual DNA. If you truly know the man, his mind and acknowledged writings, his sublime incomparable poetry and drama written in the name of another is immediately apparent, emitting a brilliant light of truth that is at once unambiguous, compelling and certain.

The great philosopher-poet Francis Tudor Bacon was the eldest concealed royal son of Queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and elder brother of their other royal son Robert Tudor Devereux. He was secretly adopted at birth by her Lord Keeper of the Realm Sir Nicholas Bacon and wife Lady Anne Cooke Bacon.

In his early years he spent his time growing up between the Bacon family estate at Gorhambury and York House on the Strand the official residence of his father Lord Keeper Bacon next to York Place, the royal palace of Queen Elizabeth. From an early age at the Elizabethan court, he grew up in the company of his royal mother and the nobility of the kingdom and those of other countries and states from all over the continent of Europe, surrounded by English and foreign ambassadors and diplomats, and all those great and learned minds the times had to offer. The majority of whom were astonished by the prodigious young man in their midst. It was said by one of his early biographers (who knew of what he spoke) at the age of twelve years old he possessed a mind that was even then beyond the capacity of his peers.

His royal antecedents profoundly engaged his all-encompassing mind and intellect which he afterwards drew upon for his Shakespeare English History Plays with eight of these covering the reigns of Richard II to Richard III whose defeat at Bosworth marked the union of the Roses and beginning of the Tudor dynasty ushered in by his great-grandfather Henry VII, about whom he wrote a celebrated prose history. This was followed chronologically by his Shakespeare play Henry VIII, with its famous scene depicting the birth of his mother Queen Elizabeth, about whom would, he says, in reference to himself, create an heir, who would make new nations, as the concealed Father of our Modern World.    

Following his return from France during which time Bacon had been involved in a great love affair with Prince Marguerite, the inspiration for Romeo and Juliet the greatest love story ever told, he was admitted to Gray’s Inn from where he wrote his early Shakespeare plays for which he drew upon his own personal experiences and circumstances.  With the scene in the Temple Garden in I Henry VI which portrays the beginning of the War of the Roses, with parts of 2 Henry VI located at St Albans, the location of his Gorhambury estate, blessed with St Albans Cathedral which he regularly visited, the final resting place of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, the dominant figure in the first three acts of the play. Then there was The Taming of the Shrew in which in its second version Bacon names it titular characters Petruccio and Kate, after the Bacon family scribe Petruccio Ubaldini and his aunt Katherine Cooke Killigrew, younger sister of Lady Bacon, with Petruccio’s father named Antonio, the Italian form of the name of his brother Anthony Bacon, two of whose household servant are named Nicholas and Nathaniel, after his elder half-brothers Sir Nicholas and Sir Natheniel Bacon (no I am not making this up!). Characters with the names of Anthony and Nathaniel also made appearances in Loves Labours Lost. With Anthony Bacon who repeatedly paid off the debts of his beloved brother Francis, the titular character of The Merchant of Venice in which its key characters Antonio and Bassanio mirror the relationship and circumstances of Anthony and Francis Bacon before, during and after the time of the play.

In the history play King John the royal Bastard Sir Philip Faulconbridge (F Bacon) is a portrait of its author the royal bastard Francis Tudor Bacon. The royal bastard child that Titania Queen Elizabeth and Oberon Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester fight over in A Midsummer Nights Dream.  In As You Like It Rosalind, the daughter of Duke Senior also corresponds to Queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester shadows the figures of Duke Senior and Sir Rowland de Boys, with their son Robert Tudor Devereux reflected in the usurping brother Duke Frederick and the character of Orlando, youngest son of Sir Rowland de Boys. Dramatically disguised figures or allusions to Robert Tudor Devereux also appear in Henry V, Troilus and Cressida, Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.

As one might expect he saved the best roles for himself not least the greatest of all Shakespearean roles, in a very personal tragedy that tells the tale of its author a disinherited royal prince Francis Tudor Bacon in the towering shape of Hamlet who is denied his rightful kingship by his mother Queen Elizabeth and the exhaustion and death of the Tudor dynasty. In Measure for Measure, he is the God-like Rosicrucian figure of Duke Vincentio one of the longest and most complex roles in the Shakespeare canon with the scientific-philosopher Prospero in the Tempest similarly a disguised dramatic portrait made in the image of his creator the scientific-philosopher Francis Tudor Bacon, the Founding Father of Modern Science and the Modern World.

With this and much more of the secret life and writings of Francis Bacon Tudor inserted by himself into his Shakespeare poems and plays, dispersed throughout the whole canon.

All of it for hundreds of years hidden in plain sight before our very own eyes.

LORD SUCH FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE.

To the memory of my beloued, The Avthor Mr. William Shakespeare signed by Ben Jonson

2 Minute Trailer Rare Ben Jonson

Honest Rare Ben Jonson is the star witness for the Stratfordians who claim he was no liar and would not have been party to any deception where in fact the very opposite is demonstrably the case.

The evidence revealed in this article reveals that the great Ben Jonson the lover of ciphers, anagrams, and the art of ambiguity participated in the most remarkable literary ludibrium (a veritable comedy, farce, illusion, etc) in the history of humankind, that the illiterate/semi-illiterate William Shakspere of Stratford was Shakespeare, the greatest poet and dramatist of all time.

By his own admission Ben lied when the circumstances demanded it and Professor Riggs states that he frequently ‘gulls his audience, but Jonson’s falsehood has the capacity to educate as well as to delude.’
Honest Ben Jonson was completely capable of secrecy and ambiguity and in his epistle addressed to his beloved author in the First Folio, he repeatedly conveys to us that his confidante and Rosicrucian brother Francis Bacon is our Secret Shakespeare.

This gives lie to the Stratfordian fraud maintained and perpetrated by orthodox Shakespeare scholars who directly and indirectly benefit from the transparent deception that William Shakspere wrote the Shakespeare works.

The 1623 Shakespeare First Folio: Part 4

Part 4 of the latest masterpiece by A. Phoenix.

The Dedication to the ‘Incomparable Paire Of Brethren’ and the address To the great Variety of Readers signed in the names of Heminges and Condell

1 Minute Trailer – The Men Who Gave us Shakespeare?

The whole bedrock of the Shakespeare First Folio is predicated on the illusion that seven years after the death of William Shakspere of Stratford his acting friends John Heminges and Henry Condell edited the First Folio and wrote its dedication to William and Philip Herbert and the address to The Great Variety of Readers, to which their names are signed. This was originally all part of the charade created by Bacon and his divine Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood to conceal his true authorship behind the mask of William Shakspere. Of course, Heminges and Condell, did not organise and oversee the enormous enterprise and production of the First Folio, and nor did they write the two epistles to which their names are attached.

Yet even though this now self-evident absurd nonsense has long and repeatedly been exposed for what it is, this false and fraudulent narrative is still perpetrated by mainstream biographers of William Shakspere of Stratford and Stratfordian authors of books on the Shakespeare First Folio, to the present day. All safe in the knowledge the ordinary schoolmen, the casual student and virtually the rest of the world at large, remain ignorant of this central Stratfordian falsehood and lie that Heminges and Condell oversaw the enterprise of the First Folio as a tribute to their fellow actor William Shakspere.

This, despite the fact, that other overlooked and ignored Shakespeare editors and academics in less well-known or accessible publications have long maintained that Heminges and Condell only lent their names to the vast enterprise and that the two epistles signed in their names were most likely written by Ben Jonson. This is all but ignored by modern so-called Stratfordian authorities because when the false and fraudulent fiction that Heminges and Condell oversaw the production of the First Folio is exposed for what it really is it begs the key critical question just who were responsible for producing it behind a wall of silence and secrecy?

The answer to the question is, the production of the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio was organised by its author Francis Bacon and his Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood from his country estate at Gorhambury assisted by his good pens including its editor and contributor Ben Jonson who was living with Bacon at the time it was progressing through the Jaggard printing presses. The actors Heminges and Condell did no more than allow their names to be associated with the Shakespeare First Folio and it was Bacon and Jonson who were responsible for producing and composing the two epistles signed in their names. As will be seen, Heminges and Condell did not participate in the production of the First Folio which removes the central plank of the Stratfordian fiction that William Shakspere wrote the Shakespeare works.

THE SECRET OF THE DROESHOUT MASK SYNOPSIS

1 Minute Trailer The Secret of the Droeshout Mask

To the present day the life of Martin Droeshout the enigmatic engraver of the Droeshout engraving prefixed to the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio is completely shrouded in secrecy and mystery. The silence is deafening. What could be the reason for all this secrecy and silence?

The key central reason is the Droeshout engraving on the title page of the Shakespeare First Folio is a mask behind which its concealed author Francis Bacon is hidden in plain sight, which when removed reveals the truth behind the Rosicrucian-Freemasonic illusion and ludibrium that the illiterate/semi-illiterate William Shakspere was the author of the greatest literature in the history of the world.

Modern orthodox Shakespeare scholars have conspired in an enormous fraudulent conspiracy and very deliberately lied to the world about the so-called incompetence of its engraver Martin Droeshout to maintain the fiction and illusion William Shakspere wrote the Shakespeare plays.

The key elements of any fraud are very often simple and relatively easy to achieve and execute. The orthodox fraudulent Stratfordian scholar has numerous tools at their disposal. Firstly, they are simply able to take advantage of the trust of their naive uncritical readership who are easily persuaded by a perceived authoritative figure or so-called expert with the accompanying title of professor whose works are published by a prestigious university press. Pitifully, this itself is usually sufficient. Or alternatively, in the face of irrefutable facts and evidence the common response of orthodox Stratfordian scholars is either to simply maintain a wall of silence, or resort to crude systematic suppression and omission. Then there is their well-practiced method of arbitrary distortion and dismissal. Not forgetting of course, the blunt instrument of downright lies and mendacity, all of it skilfully woven into their false, deceitful, and fraudulent narratives.

For centuries the Stratfordian authorities have misled and lied to the world about the one critical fact literally staring us all in the face-the Droeshout engraving is very obviously and irrefutably a mask. The reason why they have repeatedly lied to the world and denied it is a mask is because it would immediately expose the illusion William Shakspere of Stratford wrote the Shakespeare works which in a single devastating and catastrophic stroke would bring the whole fraudulent Stratfordian edifice crashing down all around them.

The secret relationship which has remained hidden for centuries between Francis Bacon and Martin Droeshout the engraver responsible for the iconic image that adorns the title page of the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio is here revealed for the first time, bringing out of the shadows into the brilliant light of day, our sublime poet-dramatist concealed behind the Droeshout mask, exposing and collapsing the greatest literary fraud of all time.

Introduction

On the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio, The 1623 Shakespeare First Folio: A Baconian-Rosicrucian-Freemasonic Illusion uncovers and reveals unknown and untold secrets about the greatest work of literature in the history of humankind. Here for the first time, it brings forth the hidden and concealed connections of its secret author Francis Bacon and his Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood with all the key members involved in its production, printing, and publication. It explores his hidden relationships with its printers William and Isaac Jaggard, and the other members of the First Folio consortium, John Smethwick, William Aspley, and its publisher Edward Blount. It is almost universally unknown that its dedicatee William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke was at the time of its dedication Grand Master of England, one of half of the ‘Incomparable Paire Of Brethren’, with his brother Philip Herbert, Earl of Montgomery, whose joint open and hidden relationships with Bacon went back decades. The other important critical member in the production of the 1623 First Folio was its editor and contributor of its two verses Ben Jonson who at the time the Folio was making its way through the Jaggard printing presses was living with Bacon at Gorhambury, where he was at the heart of the secret plans for bringing together this vast and complex enterprise.

The Droeshout engraving on the title page of the most famous secular work in English history is iconic and recognised the world over as the contemporary face of William Shakespeare the greatest poet and dramatist of all time. In strikingly marked contrast virtually nothing is known about Martin Droeshout the draughtsman responsible for the most recognisable literary image since time immemorial. A remarkable level of secrecy still surrounds his private life, friends and the social and professional circles he moved in, even though he self-evidently knew some of the most important figures in Jacobean England and moved in the highest circles of his times. This man who for the first thirty-three years of his life lived in the heart of London has scarcely left any documentary trace of his existence akin to him having been deliberately expunged from the records. To the present day his whole life is completely shrouded in secrecy and mystery. The silence is deafening. What could be the reason for all this secrecy and silence? The key reason is the Droeshout engraving on the title page of the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio is a mask behind which its concealed author Francis Bacon is hidden in plain sight, which when lifted reveals the truth behind the Rosicrucian-Freemasonic illusion and ludibrium that the illiterate/semi-illiterate William Shakspere of Stratford was the author of the greatest literature in the history of the world. This illusion revealed, with one devastating stroke brings the whole Stratfordian fiction crashing to the ground.

For the first time, The 1623 Shakespeare First Folio: A Baconian Rosicrucian-Freemasonic Illusion conveys an explosive secret in making known the concealed and hidden relationship between Francis Bacon and Martin Droeshout which has been suppressed for the last four hundred years. Their secret relationship is encapsulated in an earlier Droeshout engraving titled Doctor Panurgus (c. 1621) wherein one of its central figures is a depiction of Francis Bacon replete with a series of clues and indicators to confirm it.

The figure of Bacon in the Dr Panurgus engraving by Droeshout dating from the early 1620s is drawn from life, which points to Bacon sitting for it at Gorhambury. The complex engraving has clearly been carefully planned and must have involved Bacon giving Droeshout instructions and further directions that over a period of time necessitated numerous revision and amendments, not unlike the Droeshout in the First Folio, which exists in three known states, showing close attention to minor details as well as slight changes made to various aspects of it. This process was taking place around the time Bacon was planning and preparing his Shakespeare plays for the Jaggard printing house during the years 1621 to 1623 when it is likely that Droeshout made numerous visits to see Bacon at his country estate at Gorhambury where he was most likely residing for periods with Bacon and Ben Jonson as part of his entourage of good pens and other artists that made up his literary workshop.

The work also lift the veil of secrecy surrounding the hitherto unknown relationships between Francis Bacon and the other little-known figures Hugh Holland, James Mabbe and Leonard Digges who contributed verses to the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio. Particularly, Bacon’s relationship with Leonard Digges, whose father Sir Nicholas Bacon was the special patron of his grandfather and father Leonard Digges and Thomas Digges, the poet whose verse prefixed to the First Folio refers to the Stratford Monument, which is adorned with Rosicrucian-Freemasonic symbols and Baconian ciphers, secretly commissioned by Francis Bacon and his Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood.

It is little known that the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio contains a series of special Baconian-Rosicrucian-Freemasonic AA and Archer headpieces cryptically incorporating the monogram of Francis Bacon and in the case of the latter spelling out his name F. Bacon. Across the address by Ben Jonson in the First Folio ‘To the memory of my beloued, The AVTHOR Mr. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: AND what he hath left vs’, written during the period he was living with Bacon at Gorhambury, appears the Freemasonic Seven Set Squares headpiece, indicating to other members of the Brotherhood that Bacon was the concealed author behind the pseudonym Shakespeare and the secret Grand Master of all Freemasons who rules by the Square, with ‘what he has left vs’, alluding to the secret Freemasonic system left to the world for the future benefit of humankind. Beyond the fact that the Freemasonic Seven Set Squares appears over the Ben Jonson address in the Folio, the same headpiece appears numerous times throughout the volume over the following Shakespeare plays: The Merry Wives of Windsor, Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, King John, I Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, Richard III, Henry VIII, Romeo and Juliet, Timon of Athens and Hamlet.

In addition to all the above cryptic devices secretly inserted by Bacon in the Shakespeare First Folio there are also many remarkable and astonishing references and allusions to himself and members of the Bacon family, which for four hundred years have remained unfamiliar or unknown to the ordinary schoolmen, the casual student, and effectively the rest of the world. These include references and allusions to himself in several different plays where the character is in some instances named Francis and similarly where characters are named after his three brothers Sir Nicholas Bacon, Sir Nathaniel Bacon, and Anthony Bacon. Similarly in the First Folio there are references and allusions to his father and mother Sir Nicholas and Lady Anne Cooke Bacon, her sisters Lady Katherine Cooke Killigrew, Lady Elizabeth Cooke Hoby Russell and her husband John, Lord Russell, Lady Mildred Cooke Cecil and her husband William Cecil, Lord Burghley, as well as their offspring (Bacon’s cousins) Thomas Posthumous Hoby and Sir Robert Cecil, and the son of their brother William Cooke, named after his father, Bacon’s other cousin, known as William Cooke of Highnam Court in Gloucester.

In recent times a very substantial body of academic literature has been produced by orthodox critics and commentators surrounding the subject of Shakespeare and anagrams. Individually and collectively these writings illustrate and determine that not only was Shakespeare, the greatest poet of his age, but he was its greatest anagrammatist. In the First Folio Bacon secretly inserts numerous acrostics and anagrams confirming his authorship among them: I AM FRA[NCIS] BACON, FRANCIS BACON, FRAN [CIS] BACON, F BACON, BY ONE BACON, BY BACON, and BACON.

The Shakespeare First Folio embodies the philosophy and teachings of Freemasonry and contains overt and covert references and allusions to its secret practices, protocols, and customs. It is intimately familiar with knowledge of its degrees of initiations, and the constitution, rules, and regular workings of the Lodge. It is also familiar with the language and terminology of the Freemasonry Brotherhood, its secret signs, handshakes, and other forms of greetings and identification. It is most importantly saturated with the grand philosophical scheme of Bacon to regenerate the world and unite humankind into a truly global society based upon peace and love, the declared aim of his Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood, to bring about over time the Universal Reformation of the Whole World.
