The Tomb of Roger Manners & effigy of Elizabeth Manners nee Sidney
By Bob Sparham
Roger Manners has one of the most interesting histories of all of the
Earls of Rutland. Indeed he is the only one of the Earls to have been
identified by some scholars as the real writer of Shakespeare's plays!
Although his brother Francis the 6th Earl has an established link
with Shakespeare, having actually employed him, it is Roger who
is suggested as a candidate for the authorship of the greatest
of all English plays. Most of the supporters of the Rutland
candidature base their arguments on the close links between:
1) Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland,
2) Robert Devereux 2nd Earl of Essex, and
3) Henry Wriothesley 2nd Earl of Southampton.
Their relationships were close and complex, and they had
reverberations long after Robert Devereux's execution
after the failed fiasco of the Essex Rebellion.
Below is a chronology of the course of relevant events:-
Roger Manners 5th Earl of Rutland
Playgoing Chronology (under the Julian Calendar
the year changed on the 25th March rather than 1st Jan)
Born 6 Oct 1576
21 Feb 1587-8 succeeded as fifth Earl of Rutland, passing
through London on his way to Cambridge, he had an interview
with Queen Elizabeth
In 1590 his tutor, John Jegon, removed to Corpus Christi
College, and among other of his pupils, Rutland went with him
20 Feb 1595 he became M.A.
Early in 1596 Sailed from Plymouth, and passed by way of Paris
to Switzerland & Italy. Fellow classmate at Padua University
with two Danish students called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern.
In North Italy he had a dangerous illness
2 Feb 1597-8 was admitted member of Gray's Inn and became a very
close companion to the Earls of Essex and Southampton in London
Jan 1598-9 The Earl of Essex given command of an English
expeditionary force sent to Ireland, to fight a rebellion
in Ulster led by O'Neil the Earl of Tyrone
Jan-Feb 1598-9 Essex commissions Roger Manners to serve
as a Colonel of Foot under his command in Ireland
21 Feb 1598-9 William Shakespeare signs a lease for
land in Southwark where Globe Theatre will be built
5 March 1598-9 Roger Manners marries Elizabeth Sidney
March 1598-9 Fearing the power that Essex is gathering around
himself, Queen Elizabeth forbids Rutland from going to Ireland
19 March 1589-9 The astrologer and doctor
Simon Foreman casts the Earl of Essex's horoscope.
27 March 1599 Essex leads his army as they march out of London,
Simon Forman is in the cheering crowd watching the procession.
April 1599 Roger Manners travels to Belvoir Castle then on
to Chester and slips out of England to join Essex in Ireland.
30 May 1599 Roger Manners knighted by Essex in Ireland
28 June 1599 Roger Manners returns to London after being summoned
back by Queen, is in disfavour for disobeying her orders.
10 Jul 1599, he was incorporated M.A.at Oxford
Sept 1599 Globe Theatre opens with two plays, Shakespeare's
Julius Caesar & Ben Jonson's Every Man his Humour alternating.
Sept 1599 Essex realised that the Irish campaign was a fiasco
and concluded a private truce with the Earl of Tyrone.
23-6 Sept 1599 Roger Manners attends the court at Nonesuch Palace.
28 Sept 1599 The Earl of Essex rides back overnight from Ireland. He
bursts unannounced into Queen's apartments in an attempt to explain
his agreement with Tyrone. The Queen is angry both because he has
seen her without her wig and makeup, and by the fact that she was
frightened by the possibility of assassination and a coup.
28 Sept-1 Oct 1599 Roger Manners steward Thomas Scriven makes the
following entres in his accounts:- Item, 28 September, my Lorde's
boatehier to Lambeth and back againe, xviijd.;...boatehire 1 October,
for his Lordship and his men, and the play, and James his going to
Lambeth to see Capten Whitlock, viijs.
. Item the foteman's boatehire to Lambeth and
. to the play howse sondry tymes.ijs.iiijd
The fact that the boats are being used for transport identifies the
Playhouse as being in the Southwark area, south of the river, but
tantalisingly, Screvin doesn't make clear if the Earl is visiting the
newly constructed Globe Theatre or its near neighbour, the Rose.
Oct 1599-June 1600 Essex placed under house arrest and his faction
at court go into a kind of limbo waiting to see what will see what
will happen next,
It was reported by Rowland White in 1600 that Rutland & Southampton
'"passaway the tyme in London merely in going to plays everyday"

It's from Twelfth Night
"the Earl of Rutland’s direct connection with the Shakespeare
oeuvre. For instance, the Belvoir Castle archives keep a variant
of a chant from “Twelfth Night” written in the Earl of Rutland’s
hand, and a unique record of the Castle’s steward about payment
of money to Shakspere."

5th Earl of Rutland ___ ( *6 October* 1576 – 26 June 1612)
<<Roger Manners, was
“too young and unproven” to be Shakespeare, is the widely-held
belief. Again, to be taken seriously, he would have had to be a
literary genius in 1593 at the age of 16 (when Venus & Adonis was
first published). There is no evidence of this. Nor was there evidence
that this future “Courtier, nobleman, law student, classicist and
linguist, sportsman, soldier, witness to a great storm at sea”
had ever involved himself in poesy, theatre or players.
http://www.shakespeare-authorship.org.uk/roger-manners.htm
-------------------------------------------------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_of_Cologne
<<Saint Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030 – 6 October 1101), the
founder of the Carthusian Order, personally founded the
order's 1st two communities. He was a celebrated teacher
at Reims. His funeral elegies celebrate his eloquence,
and his poetic, philosophical, and theological talents.
Upon the verge of being made bishop himself, Bruno instead followed a
vow he had made to renounce secular concerns and withdrew, along with
two of his friends, Raoul and Fulcius, also canons of Reims. In
Catholic art, Saint Bruno can be recognized by a skull that he holds
and contemplates. He may be crowned with a halo of seven stars; or
with a roll bearing the device "O Bonitas."
http://tinyurl.com/3o5vv8v
Bruno went with six of his companions to Saint Hugh of Châteauneuf,
Bishop of Grenoble. The bishop, according to the pious legend, had
recently had a vision of these men, under a chaplet of seven stars.
They built a little retreat where they lived isolated and in poverty,
entirely occupied in prayer and study, for these men had a reputation
for learning, and were frequently honored by the visits of St. Hugh
who became like one of themselves.
In all the upheaval Bruno managed to efface the role he was playing in
policy. He did not even attend the Council of Clermont, where Urban
preached the First Crusade. He seems to have been present at the
Council of Benevento (March, 1091). His part in history is effaced.
His new retreat, chosen in 1091 by Bruno and some followers who had
joined him, was in the Diocese of Squillace, in a small forested high
valley, where the band constructed a little wooden chapel and cabins.
His patron there was *Roger* I of Sicily, Count of Sicily. Bruno went
to the Guiscard court at Mileto to visit the count in his sickness
(1098 and 1101), and to baptize his son Roger (1097), the future King
of Sicily. But more often Roger went into retreat with his friends,
where he erected a simple house for himself.
After his death, the Carthusians of Calabria, following a frequent
custom of the Middle Ages, dispatched a roll-bearer, a servant of the
community laden with a long roll of parchment, hung round his neck,
who travelled through Italy, France, Germany, and England, stopping to
announce the death of Bruno, and in return, the churches, communities,
or chapters inscribed upon his roll, in prose or verse, the expression
of their regrets, with promises of prayers. Many of these rolls have
been preserved, but few are so extensive or so full of praise as that
about St. Bruno. A hundred and seventy-eight witnesses, of whom many
had known the deceased, celebrated the extent of his knowledge and the
fruitfulness of his instruction. Strangers to him were above all
struck by his great knowledge and talents.
Since the Carthusian Order maintains a strict observance of humility,
Saint Bruno was never formally canonized. He was not included in the
Tridentine Calendar, but in the year 1623 Pope Gregory XV included him
in the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints for celebration on October 6.
A writer as well as founder of his order, Saint Bruno composed
commentaries on the Psalms and on the Epistles of Saint Paul. Two
letters of his also remain, his profession of faith, and a short elegy
on contempt for the world which shows that he cultivated poetry. St
Bruno's "Commentaries" reveal that he knew a little Hebrew and Greek;
he was familiar with the Fathers, especially Saint Augustine and Saint
Ambrose. "His style," said Dom Rivet, "is concise, clear, nervous and
simple, and his Latin as good as could be expected of that century: it
would be difficult to find a composition of this kind at once more
solid and more luminous, more concise and more clear."

<<Roger Manners was 11 when he began studies
at Cambridge University and was recorded as
being there for seven years until aged 18.
On the credit side, through his long sojourn at the University,
Rutland thus knew well the “Cambridge terminology” found in “Hamlet”,
supposedly a rare knowledge. He visited Denmark and Elsinore,
knew and was known by the royal Court there, which as King
James’ ambassador he visited in 1603 for a royal christening.
“Sherlock Holmes” (celebrated author Conan Doyle), was brought
in to examine the case for Rutland. He said much as others:
that Shakespeare was of the nobility, Courtier, classically
-educated, spoke French and Italian, was a lawyer and so on..
and he had witnessed a great storm at sea: Rutland did,
during the sea crossing on returning from Denmark.
Visiting the ancestral Rutland home, Belvoir Castle, ‘Sherlock
Holmes’ (Conan Doyle) pointed dramatically at the large wall
painting of the young Rutland ... ”Shakespeare”, he declaimed.
...............................
Additional notable points:
The 5th Earl inherited aged 12 when his father died.
He was a royal ward under Lord Burghley, but
the guardianship was undertaken by ... Francis Bacon
When aged 20, Rutland went abroad travelling – by which time some 14
plays, in the Shakespeare canon, were known and had been performed
In the family library, a Rutland researcher in 1900 found a cache of
very old books, but more, paper records which said that the library
in Shakespeare’s time contained a number of specific books - source
books, which Shakespeare could have used in his research for the plays
At Belvoir is a ceiling fresco, a copy of Correggio’s Io & Jupiter,
mentioned unexpectedly in The Taming of the Shrew

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_and_Io
<<Jupiter & Io (c. 1530) is a painting by the Italian late
Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio. The painting was
created as a companion piece to the Ganymede Abducted by the Eagle.
The two pictures, along with another pair, were probably intended
to decorate the Ovid Room in [Giulio Romano's] Palazzo Te for
Federico II *Gonzaga* of Mantua; however, they were presented as
a gift to Emperor Charles V. The scene of Jupiter & Io is
inspired by Ovid's classic Metamorphoses. Io, daughter of
the first king of Argos Inachus, is seduced by Jupiter, who
hides behind the dunes to avoid hurting the jealous Juno.>>
.............................................................
According to Sidney Lee, it was Roger Manners who obtained the
coat of arms for Shakspere of Stratford from the Heralds' College.
.............................................................
Rutland at 20 was at Padua University, in Italy, at the same time as
students by name Rosencrantz & Guylderstern – who in turn were at
the royal christening in 1603 (and were in Shakespeare’s Hamlet)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Manners,_5th_Earl_of_Rutland
<<Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland (6 October 1576 – 26 June 1612)
was the son of John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland. He married Elizabeth
Sidney (daughter of Sir Philip Sidney and stepdaughter of Robert
Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex), on 5 March 1599. He died in 1612,
aged 35 and his titles passed to his brother, Francis Manners.
He was a student at Oxford and Cambridge, Gray's Inn, and University
of Padua, Italy. He travelled across Europe, took part in military
campaigns led by Essex, and was a participant of Essex's rebellion
against Queen Elizabeth I. He was favoured by James I, and honoured
by his contemporaries as a man of great intelligence & talent. He
enjoyed the friendship of some of the most prominent writers and
artists of the Elizabethan-Jacobean age. In 1602 he led an Embassy to
Denmark, homeland of James' Queen Anne of Denmark. Evidence indicates
that the Earl was a patron of Inigo Jones and probably introduced
Jones to the Court of James I and Anne of Denmark, where Jones had
his impact as both an architect and a designer of Court masques.
Roger Manners (and his wife Elizabeth Sidney, daughter of the poet
Philip Sidney) are believed by some to be candidates for the author
of Shakespeare's literary work in the Shakespearean authorship
question. Karl Bleibtreu & Celestin Demblon supported this idea.>>
----------------------------------------------------
. James Joyce's _Ulysses_
............................................................
When Rutlandbaconsouthamptonshakespeare or another poet of the same
name in the comedy of errors wrote Hamlet he was not the father of his
own son merely but, being no more a son, he was and felt himself the
father of all his race, the father of his own grandfather, the father
of his unborn grandson who, by the same token, never was born
for nature, as Mr Magee understands her, abhors perfection.

-- Well, in that case, he said, I don't see why you should expect
payment for it since you don't believe it yourself. Dowden believes
there is some mystery in Hamlet but will say no more. Herr Bleibtreu,
the man Piper met in Berlin, who is working up that *Rutland theory* ,
believes that the secret is hidden in the Stratford monument.
He is going to visit the present duke, Piper says, and prove
to him that his ancestor wrote the plays. It will come
as a surprise to his grace. But *he believes his theory* .

Roger Manners: 5th Earl of Rutland
http://tinyurl.com/3usnzkb
Background: One of the most well-educated and remarkably literate
people of Elizabethan England. Master of Arts of Cambridge and Oxford
Universities. Was a student at Padua University (Italy) for a while,
studied law at Gray's Inn. For some time, was under the tutelage of
Sir Francis Bacon. Travelled extensively about Europe, visited the
Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, Northern Italy.
Corresponded with European scholars.
Famous for: His life was closely associated with the Pembrokes and
Sidneys, with the Earl of Southampton, and the Earl of Essex. His
platonic wife and, later, co-author was Elizabeth Sidney, an only
daughter of the famous poet Sir Philip Sidney and step-daughter of
the Earl of Essex. In spite of precarious state of health, the Earl
of Rutland participated more than once in war on land and sea.
Was actively involved in Essex's rebellion and severely punished
for that by Queen Elizabeth I. After the Queen's death in 1603,
the new monarch King James I sent him as his envoy
on an honorary mission to the King of Denmark.
The Case: This eccentric aristocrat enveloped his own person and
his literary activities in mystery & secrecy. He never published
anything in his own name, preferring to ascribe the authorship of his
works to "live masks," i.e. semiliterate people like William Shakspere
from Stratford-upon-Avon and Thomas Coryate from OLdcombe. This
was his, his wife's and a few friends' Grand Game, Theatre in Life.
Today we finally have a multitude of positively established facts
witnessing beyond any doubt to the Earl of Rutland's direct connection
with the Shakespeare oeuvre. For instance, the Belvoir Castle archives
keep a variant of a chant from Twelfth Night written in the Earl of
Rutland's hand, and a unique record of the Castle's steward about
payment of money to Shakespeare. Poet and playwright Ben Jonson, who
was well-acquainted with the Earl and Countess of Rutland, called them
and their close circle "poets of the Belvoir Vale." The scene of some
Shakespeare's plays is laid in the very towns of Northern Italy that
Rutland had earlier visited during his European travels. The exact and
accurate Danish realities appeared in Hamlet only after the Earl's
trip to Denmark. The mysterious "Shake-Speare" ceased his creative
work at the very same time when Roger Manners, the 5th Earl of
Rutland, and his wife passed away in 1612 (in quick succession one
after the other). The First Folio was to be released in 1622, the
10th obit of the Earl and his platonic wife. The Second Folio was
published in 1632, obviously to commemorate their 20th obit.>>

<<'The principal

It was a for[M] well fitted to divert inquiry, and baffle even the
research of the scholar for a time; but one calculated to provoke
the philosophic curiosity, and one which would inevitably command a
research that could end only with the *TRUE* solution. That solution
was resERVED for one who would recognise, at last, in the *DISGUISE*

beckonings from the "theatre" into the judicial palace of the mind. It
was resERVED for the student who would recognise, at last, the mind
that was seeking so persEVERingly to whisper its tale of outrage, and
"the secrets it was forbid." It waited for one who would answer, at
last, that philosophic challenge, and say, "Go on, I'll follow thee!"
It was resERVED for one who would count years as days, for the love
of the *TRUTH* it hid; who would nEVER turn back on the long road of
initiation, though all "THE IDOLS" must be left behind in its stages;
who would nEVER stop until it stopped in that new cave of Apollo,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lovewell_%28Junior%29
<<John Lovewell (October 14, 1691 – May 8, 1725) was a famous Ranger
in the 18th century who fought during Dummer's War (also known as
Lovewell's War). He lived in present-day Nashua, New Hampshire. He
fought in Dummer's War as a militia captain, leading three expeditions
against the Abenaki Indians. Lovewell was commemorated by Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow with his poem, "The Battle of Lovells Pond",
& by Nathaniel Hawthorne with his story, "Roger Malvin's Burial".>>
..........................................................
_________ [Roger M]alvin
..........................................................
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Malvin%27s_Burial
<<"Roger Malvin's Burial" is one of the lesser known short
stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne, included in the collection
Mosses from an Old Manse. It concerns two colonial survivors
returning home after the battle known as Lovell's Fight.
The story begins in the year 1725, after Lovewell's Fight (Hawthorne
uses the name Lovell's Fight), a battle between the New Englanders and
natives in Dummer's War. An elderly soldier, Roger Malvin and a young
one, Reuben Bourne - survivors of the battle - try to get to a human
settlement through the forest. However, since they are both wounded
and weak, there is little hope that they will survive. They make a
rest near a rock that looks like an enormous tombstone. The older man
asks Reuben, whom he treats as a son, to leave him to die alone, since
his wounds are mortal. He is unable to go any further and, although
Reuben insists that he will drag Malvin further, the old man knows
that this would mean death for both of them. Malvin manages to
convince Reuben finally, and the young man leaves Malvin surely to
die. Reuben survives, but he cannot feel at peace because he has not
buried the old man as he had promised. Moreover, when he recovered,
he did not have the courage to tell Dorcas, Roger Malvin's daughter
and Reuben's fiancée, that he had left her father to die, even
though it was Malvin's wish. Reuben is considered a brave man,
but inside he feels that he has failed.
Dorcas and Reuben get married, but Reuben cannot fit into the society.
Many years later, when Reuben and Dorcas' son is already a grown boy,
Reuben decided that they will move out from the town they lived in and
that they will look for a free piece of land for themselves. They
travel through wilderness. At a rest, Reuben and his son wander
into the forest separately while Dorcas prepares a meal.
At a certain moment, Reuben hears something in the bushes
and shoots, *thinking it might be a deer* , but it turns
out that he has killed his own son.
As he observes the terrain, it is obvious that this
is the same place where he had left Roger Malvin.

..........................................................
As in "My Kinsman, Major Molineux" and "The May-Pole of Merry Mount",
Hawthorne combines history and allegory. The background for "Roger
Malvin's Burial" are historic events, but the story itself contains
highly symbolic elements. The central theme of the story is guilt, a
psychological state Hawthorne explores very frequently. Reuben is
driven to the verge of insanity because of the unrelenting state of
guilt. One of the questions that might be asked is whether Reuben has
a reason at all to feel guilty. On the one hand, he left his companion
to die. On the other, the old man has asked and urged Reuben himself
to abandon him. The situation is very ambivalent. There is even a
possibility that what haunts Reuben is not the very act of leaving
Roger to die, but the fact that he did not fulfill the promise to bury
Malvin, even though it seems that the old man forced Reuben to promise
that in order to convince him to leave. Although "Roger Malvin's
Burial" is a tale of guilt and ultimate retribution, it does not draw
upon the Puritan heritage, as is the case with many of Hawthorne's
treatments of the subject. Instead, like "My Kinsman," this story is
set in 18th-century New England and can be interpreted as Hawthorne's
contemplation of the roots of the American nation. In the story
certain motives and events repeat, so even as the story's events move
forward, it also seems to keep circling back on itself--just as, at
the end of the story, Reuben circles the site of Roger Malvin's death,
but without realizing it. Throughout the story Reuben re-enacts his
personal drama, unable to escape his guilt or his fate (another
consistent element of Hawthorne's fiction). The death of Roger Malvin
is reflected in the death of Cyrus, Reuben's son. At the end of the
story, Hawthorne writes: "At that moment, the withered topmost bough
of the oak loosened itself, in the stilly air, and fell in soft,
light fragments upon the rock, upon the leaves, upon Reuben, upon
his wife and child, and upon Roger Malvin's bones" There are
certain biblical allusions in the text as well. The death
of the boy echoes the stories of Abraham and Isaac.>>

The Tomb of Roger Manners & effigy of Elizabeth Manners nee Sidney
By Bob Sparham
Roger Manners has one of the most interesting histories of all of the
Earls of Rutland. Indeed he is the only one of the Earls to have been
identified by some scholars as the real writer of Shakespeare's plays!
Although his brother Francis the 6th Earl has an established link
with Shakespeare, having actually employed him, it is Roger who
is suggested as a candidate for the authorship of the greatest
of all English plays. Most of the supporters of the Rutland
candidature base their arguments on the close links between:
1) Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland,
2) Robert Devereux 2nd Earl of Essex, and
3) Henry Wriothesley 2nd Earl of Southampton.
Their relationships were close and complex, and they had
reverberations long after Robert Devereux's execution
after the failed fiasco of the Essex Rebellion.
Below is a chronology of the course of relevant events:-
Roger Manners 5th Earl of Rutland
Playgoing Chronology (under the Julian Calendar
the year changed on the 25th March rather than 1st Jan)
Born 6 Oct 1576
21 Feb 1587-8 succeeded as fifth Earl of Rutland, passing
through London on his way to Cambridge, he had an interview
with Queen Elizabeth
In 1590 his tutor, John Jegon, removed to Corpus Christi
College, and among other of his pupils, Rutland went with him
20 Feb 1595 he became M.A.
Early in 1596 Sailed from Plymouth, and passed by way of Paris
to Switzerland & Italy. Fellow classmate at Padua University
with two Danish students called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern.
In North Italy he had a dangerous illness
2 Feb 1597-8 was admitted member of Gray's Inn and became a very
close companion to the Earls of Essex and Southampton in London
Jan 1598-9 The Earl of Essex given command of an English
expeditionary force sent to Ireland, to fight a rebellion
in Ulster led by O'Neil the Earl of Tyrone
Jan-Feb 1598-9 Essex commissions Roger Manners to serve
as a Colonel of Foot under his command in Ireland
21 Feb 1598-9 William Shakespeare signs a lease for
land in Southwark where Globe Theatre will be built
5 March 1598-9 Roger Manners marries Elizabeth Sidney
March 1598-9 Fearing the power that Essex is gathering around
himself, Queen Elizabeth forbids Rutland from going to Ireland
19 March 1589-9 The astrologer and doctor
Simon Foreman casts the Earl of Essex's horoscope.
27 March 1599 Essex leads his army as they march out of London,
Simon Forman is in the cheering crowd watching the procession.
April 1599 Roger Manners travels to Belvoir Castle then on
to Chester and slips out of England to join Essex in Ireland.
30 May 1599 Roger Manners knighted by Essex in Ireland
28 June 1599 Roger Manners returns to London after being summoned
back by Queen, is in disfavour for disobeying her orders.
10 Jul 1599, he was incorporated M.A.at Oxford
Sept 1599 Globe Theatre opens with two plays, Shakespeare's
Julius Caesar & Ben Jonson's Every Man his Humour alternating.
Sept 1599 Essex realised that the Irish campaign was a fiasco
and concluded a private truce with the Earl of Tyrone.
23-6 Sept 1599 Roger Manners attends the court at Nonesuch Palace.
28 Sept 1599 The Earl of Essex rides back overnight from Ireland. He
bursts unannounced into Queen's apartments in an attempt to explain
his agreement with Tyrone. The Queen is angry both because he has
seen her without her wig and makeup, and by the fact that she was
frightened by the possibility of assassination and a coup.
28 Sept-1 Oct 1599 Roger Manners steward Thomas Scriven makes the
following entres in his accounts:- Item, 28 September, my Lorde's
boatehier to Lambeth and back againe, xviijd.;...boatehire 1 October,
for his Lordship and his men, and the play, and James his going to
Lambeth to see Capten Whitlock, viijs.
. Item the foteman's boatehire to Lambeth and
. to the play howse sondry tymes.ijs.iiijd
The fact that the boats are being used for transport identifies the
Playhouse as being in the Southwark area, south of the river, but
tantalisingly, Screvin doesn't make clear if the Earl is visiting the
newly constructed Globe Theatre or its near neighbour, the Rose.
Oct 1599-June 1600 Essex placed under house arrest and his faction
at court go into a kind of limbo waiting to see what will see what
will happen next,
It was reported by Rowland White in 1600 that Rutland & Southampton
'"passaway the tyme in London merely in going to plays everyday"
http://www.bottesfordhistory.org.uk/page_id__96.aspx
.................................................
It's from Twelfth Night
"the Earl of Rutland’s direct connection with the Shakespeare
oeuvre. For instance, the Belvoir Castle archives keep a variant
of a chant from “Twelfth Night” written in the Earl of Rutland’s
hand, and a unique record of the Castle’s steward about payment
of money to Shakspere."

5th Earl of Rutland ___ ( *6 October* 1576 – 26 June 1612)
<<Roger Manners, was
“too young and unproven” to be Shakespeare, is the widely-held
belief. Again, to be taken seriously, he would have had to be a
literary genius in 1593 at the age of 16 (when Venus & Adonis was
first published). There is no evidence of this. Nor was there evidence
that this future “Courtier, nobleman, law student, classicist and
linguist, sportsman, soldier, witness to a great storm at sea”
had ever involved himself in poesy, theatre or players.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_of_Cologne
<<Saint Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030 – 6 October 1101), the
founder of the Carthusian Order, personally founded the
order's 1st two communities. He was a celebrated teacher
at Reims. His funeral elegies celebrate his eloquence,
and his poetic, philosophical, and theological talents.
Upon the verge of being made bishop himself, Bruno instead followed a
vow he had made to renounce secular concerns and withdrew, along with
two of his friends, Raoul and Fulcius, also canons of Reims. In
Catholic art, Saint Bruno can be recognized by a skull that he holds
and contemplates. He may be crowned with a halo of seven stars; or
with a roll bearing the device "O Bonitas."
http://tinyurl.com/3o5vv8v
Bruno went with six of his companions to Saint Hugh of Châteauneuf,
Bishop of Grenoble. The bishop, according to the pious legend, had
recently had a vision of these men, under a chaplet of seven stars.
They built a little retreat where they lived isolated and in poverty,
entirely occupied in prayer and study, for these men had a reputation
for learning, and were frequently honored by the visits of St. Hugh
who became like one of themselves.
In all the upheaval Bruno managed to efface the role he was playing in
policy. He did not even attend the Council of Clermont, where Urban
preached the First Crusade. He seems to have been present at the
Council of Benevento (March, 1091). His part in history is effaced.
His new retreat, chosen in 1091 by Bruno and some followers who had
joined him, was in the Diocese of Squillace, in a small forested high
valley, where the band constructed a little wooden chapel and cabins.
His patron there was *Roger* I of Sicily, Count of Sicily. Bruno went
to the Guiscard court at Mileto to visit the count in his sickness
(1098 and 1101), and to baptize his son Roger (1097), the future King
of Sicily. But more often Roger went into retreat with his friends,
where he erected a simple house for himself.
After his death, the Carthusians of Calabria, following a frequent
custom of the Middle Ages, dispatched a roll-bearer, a servant of the
community laden with a long roll of parchment, hung round his neck,
who travelled through Italy, France, Germany, and England, stopping to
announce the death of Bruno, and in return, the churches, communities,
or chapters inscribed upon his roll, in prose or verse, the expression
of their regrets, with promises of prayers. Many of these rolls have
been preserved, but few are so extensive or so full of praise as that
about St. Bruno. A hundred and seventy-eight witnesses, of whom many
had known the deceased, celebrated the extent of his knowledge and the
fruitfulness of his instruction. Strangers to him were above all
struck by his great knowledge and talents.
Since the Carthusian Order maintains a strict observance of humility,
Saint Bruno was never formally canonized. He was not included in the
Tridentine Calendar, but in the year 1623 Pope Gregory XV included him
in the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints for celebration on October 6.
A writer as well as founder of his order, Saint Bruno composed
commentaries on the Psalms and on the Epistles of Saint Paul. Two
letters of his also remain, his profession of faith, and a short elegy
on contempt for the world which shows that he cultivated poetry. St
Bruno's "Commentaries" reveal that he knew a little Hebrew and Greek;
he was familiar with the Fathers, especially Saint Augustine and Saint
Ambrose. "His style," said Dom Rivet, "is concise, clear, nervous and
simple, and his Latin as good as could be expected of that century: it
would be difficult to find a composition of this kind at once more
solid and more luminous, more concise and more clear."

<<Roger Manners was 11 when he began studies
at Cambridge University and was recorded as
being there for seven years until aged 18.
On the credit side, through his long sojourn at the University,
Rutland thus knew well the “Cambridge terminology” found in “Hamlet”,
supposedly a rare knowledge. He visited Denmark and Elsinore,
knew and was known by the royal Court there, which as King
James’ ambassador he visited in 1603 for a royal christening.
“Sherlock Holmes” (celebrated author Conan Doyle), was brought
in to examine the case for Rutland. He said much as others:
that Shakespeare was of the nobility, Courtier, classically
-educated, spoke French and Italian, was a lawyer and so on..
and he had witnessed a great storm at sea: Rutland did,
during the sea crossing on returning from Denmark.
Visiting the ancestral Rutland home, Belvoir Castle, ‘Sherlock
Holmes’ (Conan Doyle) pointed dramatically at the large wall
painting of the young Rutland ... ”Shakespeare”, he declaimed.
...............................
Additional notable points:
The 5th Earl inherited aged 12 when his father died.
He was a royal ward under Lord Burghley, but
the guardianship was undertaken by ... Francis Bacon
When aged 20, Rutland went abroad travelling – by which time some 14
plays, in the Shakespeare canon, were known and had been performed
In the family library, a Rutland researcher in 1900 found a cache of
very old books, but more, paper records which said that the library
in Shakespeare’s time contained a number of specific books - source
books, which Shakespeare could have used in his research for the plays
At Belvoir is a ceiling fresco, a copy of Correggio’s Io & Jupiter,
mentioned unexpectedly in The Taming of the Shrew

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_and_Io
<<Jupiter & Io (c. 1530) is a painting by the Italian late
Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio. The painting was
created as a companion piece to the Ganymede Abducted by the Eagle.
The two pictures, along with another pair, were probably intended
to decorate the Ovid Room in [Giulio Romano's] Palazzo Te for
Federico II *Gonzaga* of Mantua; however, they were presented as
a gift to Emperor Charles V. The scene of Jupiter & Io is
inspired by Ovid's classic Metamorphoses. Io, daughter of
the first king of Argos Inachus, is seduced by Jupiter, who
hides behind the dunes to avoid hurting the jealous Juno.>>
.............................................................
According to Sidney Lee, it was Roger Manners who obtained the
coat of arms for Shakspere of Stratford from the Heralds' College.
.............................................................
Rutland at 20 was at Padua University, in Italy, at the same time as
students by name Rosencrantz & Guylderstern – who in turn were at
the royal christening in 1603 (and were in Shakespeare’s Hamlet)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Manners,_5th_Earl_of_Rutland
<<Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland (6 October 1576 – 26 June 1612)
was the son of John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland. He married Elizabeth
Sidney (daughter of Sir Philip Sidney and stepdaughter of Robert
Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex), on 5 March 1599. He died in 1612,
aged 35 and his titles passed to his brother, Francis Manners.
He was a student at Oxford and Cambridge, Gray's Inn, and University
of Padua, Italy. He travelled across Europe, took part in military
campaigns led by Essex, and was a participant of Essex's rebellion
against Queen Elizabeth I. He was favoured by James I, and honoured
by his contemporaries as a man of great intelligence & talent. He
enjoyed the friendship of some of the most prominent writers and
artists of the Elizabethan-Jacobean age. In 1602 he led an Embassy to
Denmark, homeland of James' Queen Anne of Denmark. Evidence indicates
that the Earl was a patron of Inigo Jones and probably introduced
Jones to the Court of James I and Anne of Denmark, where Jones had
his impact as both an architect and a designer of Court masques.
Roger Manners (and his wife Elizabeth Sidney, daughter of the poet
Philip Sidney) are believed by some to be candidates for the author
of Shakespeare's literary work in the Shakespearean authorship
question. Karl Bleibtreu & Celestin Demblon supported this idea.>>

............................................................
When Rutlandbaconsouthamptonshakespeare or another poet of the same
name in the comedy of errors wrote Hamlet he was not the father of his
own son merely but, being no more a son, he was and felt himself the
father of all his race, the father of his own grandfather, the father
of his unborn grandson who, by the same token, never was born
for nature, as Mr Magee understands her, abhors perfection.

-- Well, in that case, he said, I don't see why you should expect
payment for it since you don't believe it yourself. Dowden believes
there is some mystery in Hamlet but will say no more. Herr Bleibtreu,
the man Piper met in Berlin, who is working up that *Rutland theory* ,
believes that the secret is hidden in the Stratford monument.
He is going to visit the present duke, Piper says, and prove
to him that his ancestor wrote the plays. It will come
as a surprise to his grace. But *he believes his theory* .

Roger Manners: 5th Earl of Rutland
http://tinyurl.com/3usnzkb
Background: One of the most well-educated and remarkably literate
people of Elizabethan England. Master of Arts of Cambridge and Oxford
Universities. Was a student at Padua University (Italy) for a while,
studied law at Gray's Inn. For some time, was under the tutelage of
Sir Francis Bacon. Travelled extensively about Europe, visited the
Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, Northern Italy.
Corresponded with European scholars.
Famous for: His life was closely associated with the Pembrokes and
Sidneys, with the Earl of Southampton, and the Earl of Essex. His
platonic wife and, later, co-author was Elizabeth Sidney, an only
daughter of the famous poet Sir Philip Sidney and step-daughter of
the Earl of Essex. In spite of precarious state of health, the Earl
of Rutland participated more than once in war on land and sea.
Was actively involved in Essex's rebellion and severely punished
for that by Queen Elizabeth I. After the Queen's death in 1603,
the new monarch King James I sent him as his envoy
on an honorary mission to the King of Denmark.
The Case: This eccentric aristocrat enveloped his own person and
his literary activities in mystery & secrecy. He never published
anything in his own name, preferring to ascribe the authorship of his
works to "live masks," i.e. semiliterate people like William Shakspere
from Stratford-upon-Avon and Thomas Coryate from OLdcombe. This
was his, his wife's and a few friends' Grand Game, Theatre in Life.
Today we finally have a multitude of positively established facts
witnessing beyond any doubt to the Earl of Rutland's direct connection
with the Shakespeare oeuvre. For instance, the Belvoir Castle archives
keep a variant of a chant from Twelfth Night written in the Earl of
Rutland's hand, and a unique record of the Castle's steward about
payment of money to Shakespeare. Poet and playwright Ben Jonson, who
was well-acquainted with the Earl and Countess of Rutland, called them
and their close circle "poets of the Belvoir Vale." The scene of some
Shakespeare's plays is laid in the very towns of Northern Italy that
Rutland had earlier visited during his European travels. The exact and
accurate Danish realities appeared in Hamlet only after the Earl's
trip to Denmark. The mysterious "Shake-Speare" ceased his creative
work at the very same time when Roger Manners, the 5th Earl of
Rutland, and his wife passed away in 1612 (in quick succession one
after the other). The First Folio was to be released in 1622, the
10th obit of the Earl and his platonic wife. The Second Folio was
published in 1632, obviously to commemorate their 20th obit.>>

<<'The principal
wo[R]ks of the Elizabethan Philosophy, th[O]se in which the
new method of learnin[G] was practically applied to the nobl[E]st
subjects, were presented to the wo[R]ld in the form of {AN ENIGMA}.
It was a for[M] well fitted to divert inquiry, and baffle even the
research of the scholar for a time; but one calculated to provoke
the philosophic curiosity, and one which would inevitably command a
research that could end only with the *TRUE* solution. That solution
was resERVED for one who would recognise, at last, in the *DISGUISE*
of the great impersonal teacher, the *DISGUISE* of a new learning. It
waited for the reader who would observe, at last, those thick-strewn
scientific clues, those thick-crowding ENIGMAS, those perpetual
beckonings from the "theatre" into the judicial palace of the mind. It
was resERVED for the student who would recognise, at last, the mind
that was seeking so persEVERingly to whisper its tale of outrage, and
"the secrets it was forbid." It waited for one who would answer, at
last, that philosophic challenge, and say, "Go on, I'll follow thee!"
It was resERVED for one who would count years as days, for the love
of the *TRUTH* it hid; who would nEVER turn back on the long road of
initiation, though all "THE IDOLS" must be left behind in its stages;
who would nEVER stop until it stopped in that new cave of Apollo,
where the handwriting on the wall spells anew the old Delphic

*SUFI* - woolen
*SUF* : wool, woolly; a hair cloth used by penitents

referring either to the simple *CLOAKS* the early Muslim
ascetics wore, or possibly to صَفا ṣafā "purity". The two were
combined by al-Rudhabari who said, "The SUFI is the one who
wears wool on top of purity." *WOOL CLOAKS* were sometimes
a designation of their initiation into the *SUFI* order.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lovewell_%28Junior%29
<<John Lovewell (October 14, 1691 – May 8, 1725) was a famous Ranger
in the 18th century who fought during Dummer's War (also known as
Lovewell's War). He lived in present-day Nashua, New Hampshire. He
fought in Dummer's War as a militia captain, leading three expeditions
against the Abenaki Indians. Lovewell was commemorated by Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow with his poem, "The Battle of Lovells Pond",
& by Nathaniel Hawthorne with his story, "Roger Malvin's Burial".>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Malvin%27s_Burial
<<"Roger Malvin's Burial" is one of the lesser known short
stories by Nathaniel Hawthorne, included in the collection
Mosses from an Old Manse. It concerns two colonial survivors
returning home after the battle known as Lovell's Fight.
The story begins in the year 1725, after Lovewell's Fight (Hawthorne
uses the name Lovell's Fight), a battle between the New Englanders and
natives in Dummer's War. An elderly soldier, Roger Malvin and a young
one, Reuben Bourne - survivors of the battle - try to get to a human
settlement through the forest. However, since they are both wounded
and weak, there is little hope that they will survive. They make a
rest near a rock that looks like an enormous tombstone. The older man
asks Reuben, whom he treats as a son, to leave him to die alone, since
his wounds are mortal. He is unable to go any further and, although
Reuben insists that he will drag Malvin further, the old man knows
that this would mean death for both of them. Malvin manages to
convince Reuben finally, and the young man leaves Malvin surely to
die. Reuben survives, but he cannot feel at peace because he has not
buried the old man as he had promised. Moreover, when he recovered,
he did not have the courage to tell Dorcas, Roger Malvin's daughter
and Reuben's fiancée, that he had left her father to die, even
though it was Malvin's wish. Reuben is considered a brave man,
but inside he feels that he has failed.
Dorcas and Reuben get married, but Reuben cannot fit into the society.
Many years later, when Reuben and Dorcas' son is already a grown boy,
Reuben decided that they will move out from the town they lived in and
that they will look for a free piece of land for themselves. They
travel through wilderness. At a rest, Reuben and his son wander
into the forest separately while Dorcas prepares a meal.
At a certain moment, Reuben hears something in the bushes
and shoots, *thinking it might be a deer* , but it turns
out that he has killed his own son.
As he observes the terrain, it is obvious that this
is the same place where he had left Roger Malvin.

..........................................................
As in "My Kinsman, Major Molineux" and "The May-Pole of Merry Mount",
Hawthorne combines history and allegory. The background for "Roger
Malvin's Burial" are historic events, but the story itself contains
highly symbolic elements. The central theme of the story is guilt, a
psychological state Hawthorne explores very frequently. Reuben is
driven to the verge of insanity because of the unrelenting state of
guilt. One of the questions that might be asked is whether Reuben has
a reason at all to feel guilty. On the one hand, he left his companion
to die. On the other, the old man has asked and urged Reuben himself
to abandon him. The situation is very ambivalent. There is even a
possibility that what haunts Reuben is not the very act of leaving
Roger to die, but the fact that he did not fulfill the promise to bury
Malvin, even though it seems that the old man forced Reuben to promise
that in order to convince him to leave. Although "Roger Malvin's
Burial" is a tale of guilt and ultimate retribution, it does not draw
upon the Puritan heritage, as is the case with many of Hawthorne's
treatments of the subject. Instead, like "My Kinsman," this story is
set in 18th-century New England and can be interpreted as Hawthorne's
contemplation of the roots of the American nation. In the story
certain motives and events repeat, so even as the story's events move
forward, it also seems to keep circling back on itself--just as, at
the end of the story, Reuben circles the site of Roger Malvin's death,
but without realizing it. Throughout the story Reuben re-enacts his
personal drama, unable to escape his guilt or his fate (another
consistent element of Hawthorne's fiction). The death of Roger Malvin
is reflected in the death of Cyrus, Reuben's son. At the end of the
story, Hawthorne writes: "At that moment, the withered topmost bough
of the oak loosened itself, in the stilly air, and fell in soft,
light fragments upon the rock, upon the leaves, upon Reuben, upon
his wife and child, and upon Roger Malvin's bones" There are
certain biblical allusions in the text as well. The death
of the boy echoes the stories of Abraham and Isaac.>>
