Art Neuendorffer was 58 years four months and two days old.

<<DICKENS died at Gad's Hill Place, four months and two days
after his 58th birthday, just before 6.00 p.m. on 9 June 1870:
'His eyes were closed, but a tear welled from under his right
eye and trickled down his cheek. Then he was gone'.
In his will DICKENS had directed 'that my name be inscribed in plain
English letters on my tomb. I rest my claims to the remembrance of my
country upon my published works and to the remembrance of my friends
upon their experience of me.' Towards evening, Percy Fitzgerald joined
the growing throng and recorded 'There was a wreath of white roses
lying on the flags at his feet, a great bank of ferns at his head,
rows of white & red roses down the sides.' With Forster's permission,
*Dean STANLEY* allowed the grave to remain open for two more days.
At dusk on June 16 (Bloomsday), after the Abbey closed to the public,
Lord Houghton heard that the grave would not be closed until
MIDNIGHT. He was the last to look on the coffin.>>

Biography of Sir Edward Dyer
http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-edward-dyer/biography/
.
<<Author of two of the most famous Elizabethan lyrics,
'My Mind to Me a Kingdom is' and 'The Lowest Trees have Tops',
Dyer cut a figure of some significance at Elizabeth's Court
and became Chancellor of the Order of the Garter.
.
Philip Sidney and he were companions in everything (he was
'Coridens' [Cosn Dier] in Sidney's verse) and with Fulke Greville
Dyer was bequeathed Sidney's books. He wrote an elegy lamenting
Sidney's death. His other friends included Robert Earl of Essex,
*Gilbert Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury*, Walter Ralegh, Robert Sidney,
*Robert Cecil* , Thomas Sackville Lord Buckhurst, Sir Christopher
Hatton, the Countess of Pembroke and John Dee.
.
An alchemist himself, it was on the basis of Dyer's reports of the
success of Edward Kelley, Dee's scryer, that influenced Elizabeth
and Burghley to take Kelley's claims seriously. Dyer worked with
Kelley in his laboratory in Bohemia for about six months in 1590.
.
His contemporaries praised his skill as a poet: '...in a *MANNER*
oure onlye Inglish poett...' and his 'written devises farr excell
most of the sonets, and cantos in print' (Gabriel Harvey);
'Maister Edward Dyar for Elegie moste sweete, solempne and
of high conceit' (Puttenham); Nashe stated that Dyer was
the first 'that repurified Poetrie from Arts pedantisime,
and that instructed it to speake courtly'. He was buried
at St Saviour’s, Southwark, on the 11th of May 1607.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Churchyard
<<Thomas {CHURCH-YARD} (c. 1520 – 1604), English author, was born at
Shrewsbury, the son of a farmer. In 1564 {CHURCH-YARD} served in
Ireland under Sir Henry [SIDNEY]. The religious disturbances in the
Netherlands attracted him to Antwerp, where, as the agent of William
of Orange, he allowed the insurgents to place him at their head, and
was able to save much property from destruction. This action made him
so hated by the mob that he had to fly for his life in the disguise of
a priest.
In the next year he was sent by the *earl of Oxford* to serve
definitely under the prince of Orange. After a year's service he
obtained leave to return to England, and after many adventures and
narrow escapes in a journey through hostile territory he embarked for
Guernsey, and thence for England. His patron, *Lord Oxford*, disowned
him, and the poet, whose health was failing, retired to Bath. He
appears to have made a very unhappy marriage at this time, and
returned to the Low Countries. Falling into the hands of the Spaniards
he was recognized as having had a hand in the Antwerp disturbance,
and was under sentence to be executed as a spy when he was
*saved by the intervention of a NOBLE LADY*.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wye_Oak
<<The Wye Oak was the honorary state tree of Maryland, and the largest
white oak tree in the United States. Located in the town of Wye Mills,
in *TALBOT* County, Maryland, the Wye Oak was believed to be over 460
years old at the time of its destruction during a severe thunderstorm
on June 6, 2002. For years, its sprawling limbs were carefully held
together with *CABLES* .
Dr. Frank Gouin, Professor Emeritus of Horticulture at the University
of Maryland, College Park, impressed both by the age and size of the
tree, as well as its unusual resistance to oak wilt fungus and the
gypsy moth, led a successful effort to clone the Wye Oak. The first
two cloned saplings were planted at Mount Vernon on April 26, 2002.
The site of the Wye Oak remains largely untouched, and the descriptive
plaque placed there in 1921 remains at the site. Next to the site of
the tree, and also maintained as part Wye Oak State Park, is a one-
room brick schoolhouse hailing from the colonial period. It is the
second oldest schoolhouse in *TALBOT* County.
With the demise of the Wye Oak, the Linden Oak in North Bethesda,
Maryland, is now the largest white oak tree in the U.S. (It is located
beside the junction of Rockville Pike and Rock Creek Park's Beach
Drive, and when the Washington Metro was constructed, a special curve
was added to the tracks in order to protect the tree.)>>

times), who in the Tragedian that represents his person, imagine they
behold him fresh bleeding.>> - Thomas Nashe on 1 Henry VI (1592)

<<Between 1582 and 1587 John Dee and Edward *TALBOT* Kelley were
almost
inseparable partners in the most romantic, incredible, and arguably
the
most important ritual working in the history of Western magic.>>
http://members.tripod.com/~Coronzon/kelley.html
Edward Kelley (1555-1595) was born at Worcester. His father was
probably
an apothecary named *TALBOT*. At age *seventeen* Kelley traveled to
Oxford
and registered under the name *TALBOT* at Gloucester Hall. One night
Kelley along with his friend, Paul Waring, and a serving man hired for
the task, dug up the corpse of a recently buried pauper from the
graveyard attached to Law Church at the park of Wotton-in-the-Dale in
the county of Lancaster. Kelley had been paid by a young nobleman in
the
district to animate the corpse with the arts of necromancy in order to
learn details regarding the nobleman's future prospects. According to
the antiquarian Ebenezer Sibley, Kelley and Waring animated the corpse
in order to discover the whereabouts of treasure that was supposed to
have been hidden by the dead man.

<<In the fall of 1581, Oxford invested £500 pounds
in the ill-fated *FENTON* voyage to the East Indies,
for which he may also have purchased a ship, the
Edward Bonaventure (Taylor 14, 19). Along with
the Leicester & *the TALBOT*, the Edward Bonaventure
set out for the Moluccas under the command of
*Captain Edward FENTON* in May of 1582. Having
started out too late in the year to round the Cape,
FENTON, upon arriving at Sierra Leone, decided to
cross the Atlantic to Brazil and sail through the
Straits of Magellan to the Pacific. An attack by
three Spanish warships off the coast of Brazil put
an end to these plans, and FENTON set sail for home,
reaching England in May of 1583 (Routh, 425-6).>>

George F. *TALBOT*.' * — (1904).
" Since the discussion has been taken up by such com-
petent disputants as yourself, so thoroughly versed as you
are in the critical examination of evidence, so conversant
with the whole compass of classical and historic literature
and legend upon which the writer of the Shakespearean
dramas must have fed his creative imagination, so qualified
by a logical and judicial mind, the volunteer counsel on the
other side, who have put more passion than reason in their
arguments, and seem more satisfied that the crowd is with
them than they are with the strength of their case, might as
well abandon their line of defence, which has been to accuse
you of being half-educated, cranky and insane. . . . The
personage to whom you assign the just fame of these marvel-
ous productions seems to have been in every way born,
educated and equipped for such a work. He had the
requisite learning, the speculative aptitude and habit, the
rhetorical skill and poetic feeling that the most cursory
reading discloses as the everywhere dominant tone
in this grandest diapason of human speech."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Talbot,_7th_Earl_of_Shrewsbury
<<Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, 7th Earl of Waterford, KG
(November 20, 1552 – May 8, 1616) was the son of George Talbot, 6th
Earl of Shrewsbury, by the latter's first marriage to Gertrude
*MANNERS* , daughter of the first Earl of Rutland. In 1568, Gilbert
was married off to Mary Cavendish, daughter of his new stepmother,
Bess of Hardwick. When Bess and her husband fell out, Gilbert took
the side of his wife and his mother-in-law against his own father.
However, when the old earl died in 1590, Gilbert refused Bess the
widow's portion she felt was her due, and consequently they fell out.
The children from his marriage to Mary Cavendish were:
Lady Mary Talbot (1580–1649)
Lady Elizabeth Talbot (1582–1651)
Lady Alethea Talbot (1585–1654)
Two sons, George and John, died in infancy.
*Gilbert became a patron of the arts* , as was his daughter Alethea,
who became Countess of Arundel by her marriage to Thomas Howard in
1606. Talbot's second daughter, Elizabeth, married Henry Grey, 8th
Earl of Kent. The eldest, Mary, married William Herbert, 3rd Earl of
Pembroke. As well as bringing up their three daughters, Gilbert and
Mary Talbot spent a good deal of time with their orphaned niece,
Arbella Stuart.
In 1592, Gilbert Talbot was created a Knight of the Garter, but he
feuded with his former friend *JOHN STANHOPE* when John's brother got
the post of Earl Marshal of England, which he had assumed would be
his. Gilbert's stepbrother Charles Cavendish challenged Stanhope to a
duel for his sake, which was not fought. Elizabeth I was displeased
and took Stanhope's side. After this Gilbert challenged his own
brother Edward to a duel over a lease, but Edward refused to fight
him. Gilbert accused his brother of planning to poison him, but lost
his case against him. In the absence of a male heir, he was succeeded
in the earldom of Shrewsbury by his younger brother, Edward. However,
some of the extensive estates passed then (or after Edward's death)
to his daughters.

<<Given that the Lord Talbot scenes reflect the exploits of the Earl
of Essex against the Spaniards in the Low Countries during the winter
of 1591-'92, and that Talbot's stripping of the garter from cowardly
Sir John Fastolfe in act four must allude to the conferral, in April
of 1592, by Queen Elizabeth of the Order of the Garter on his
descendant Gilbert Talbot, it's not unreasonable to surmise
that a pre-existing play about Henry VI was updated in 1592.>>

<<Toward the end of June [1574] Gilbert Talbot wrote his mother, Lady
Shrewsbury: "The young Earl of Oxford, of that ancient and Very family
of the Veres, had a cause or suit, that now came before the Queen;
which she did not answer so favorably as was expected, checking him,
it seems, for his unthriftiness. And hereupon his behaviours
before her gave her some offence.">> - _THIS STAR OF ENGLAND_
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<<Gilbert Talbot, in a letter written during the late 1570's to his
father, the Earl of Shrewsbury, spoke of the shows given before the
Queen on Shrovetide, of which "the chiefest was a device presented
by the persons of the Earl of Oxford, the Earl of Surrey, the Lords
Thomas Howard and Windsor. The devise was prettier than it had
hap to be performed," he wrote; "but the best of it, and I think
the best liked, was two rich jewels which were presented
to Her Majesty by the two Earls.">> - _THIS STAR OF ENGLAND_

<<English noblewoman, known as Bess of Hardwick. At the age of 12 she
married Robert Barlow, who died shortly afterward. She was married and
widowed twice more, inheriting large estates, before she was married
in 1568 to George Talbot, 6th earl of Shrewsbury. The marriage (1574)
of her daughter Elizabeth to Charles Stuart, brother of Lord Darnley,
angered Queen Elizabeth I because Stuart had a claim to the throne,
and the countess was sent to the Tower of London for three months.
The countess quarreled with her husband and accused (1584) him of a
love affair with Mary Queen of Scots, whose custodian he was (1569–
84), but the couple was nominally reconciled before his death (1590).
She built a number of great mansions, including Hardwick Hall.>>

George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury(circa 1522-1590)
<<Shrewsbury first became involved in Mary's life
when he was asked to take part in the Conference regarding
the Casket Letters. In early 1569 he became Mary's second jailer.
He was a wealthy Protestant loyal to the English Court.
During the years that Mary was his prisoner, he complained
many times about the expense of keeping her and the insufficient
allowance he received for that purpose. A weak character, he was
completely dominated by his wife. In 1572 he was brought in
especially to be one of the judges at Norfolk's trial. Shrewsbury was
often accused by the Elizabethan government of allowing Mary too much
freedom and favours. He always protested against those accusations
but what he would gain should Elizabeth die and Mary become Queen
of England, helped to spread those rumours. His wife once
started a scandal by accusing her husband of having an affair
with the Queen of Scots. Although Shrewsbury, like many others,
was sensitive to Mary's charms, no such improper conduct
did take place as Bess later admitted. Nevertheless,
to avoid further adverse publicity, Mary was eventually put
in the care of another jailer, Ralph Sadler in September 1584.
After the Babington Plot, Shrewsbury was summoned to take part
in the trial of Mary at Fotheringhay. He tried to get
out of it but had to give in under threat.
It was him who was sent to inform Mary of the verdict and
of the time of her execution. He attended the execution too and
broke down into tears when the executioner held up her severed head.
His family later accompanied the funeral procession.>>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Talbot,_6th_Earl_of_Shrewsbury
<<George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, 6th Earl of Waterford, 12th
Baron Talbot, KG, Earl Marshal (1528 – 18 November 1590) was a 16th
century English statesman. Talbot was the only son of Francis Talbot,
5th Earl of Shrewsbury and Mary Dacre. In early life he saw active
military service, when he took part in the invasion of Scotland under
the Protector Somerset. He was sent by his father in October 1557
to the relief of Thomas Percy, 7th Earl of Northumberland pent up
in Alnwick Castle. He then remained for some months in service
on the border, with five hundred horsemen under his command.
In 1560, he inherited the Earldom of Shrewsbury, the Barony of
Furnivall and the position of Justice in *Eyre* , which had been his
father's. One year later, he was created a Knight of the Garter, and
in 1567, he married Bess of Hardwick in a double wedding with their
two eldest children from previous marriages.
Shrewsbury was selected as the keeper of Mary, Queen of Scots, who
was imprisoned by Queen Elizabeth I in 1568 after she had escaped to
England from Scotland following the disastrous Battle of Langside.
Elizabeth imposed the responsible task of guarding Mary on him,
and did not allow him to resign the charge for around 18 years.
For this and other reasons his marriage became rocky.
Shrewsbury received his ward at Tutbury on 2 February 1569, but in
June he removed to Wingfield Manor. There a rescue was attempted by
Leonard Dacre. The Earl had several houses and castles in the interior
of the kingdom, in any of which Mary might be kept with little danger.
In September the household was back again at Tutbury, where an
additional guard or spy, temporarily joined the family in the person
of Henry Hastings, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon. In November took place the
Northern Rebellion, with the revolt of the Earls of Northumberland and
Westmorland, who planned to march on Tutbury. Mary was for the time
being moved to Coventry, and did not return until the following
January. In May 1570 Shrewsbury conducted her to Chatsworth, and
he foiled another cabal for her release. Cecil and Mildmay visited
Chatsworth in October, and agreed Mary's removal to Sheffield Castle
(Shrewsbury's principal seat), which took place shortly afterwards.
At Sheffield, apart from occasional visits to the baths at Buxton,
to Chatsworth, or to the old Hardwick Hall, she remained under
Shrewsbury's guardianship for the next fourteen years. During
the winter 1571-2 the earl was in London, the queen during
his absence being left in charge of Sir Ralph Sadler.
Meanwhile, in 1571, Lord Shrewsbury was appointed Lord High Steward
(the premier Great Office of State) for the trial of Thomas Howard,
4th Duke of Norfolk (regarding the Ridolfi plot). Finally, in 1572,
Lord Shrewsbury was appointed Earl Marshal, a position that he held
(along with the aforementioned position of Justice in Eyre) until his
death in 1590. He was buried in the Shrewsbury chapel at Sheffield
Parish Church (now Sheffield Cathedral), where a large monument
to him can still be seen.
By his first wife Gertrude Manners, daughter of Thomas Manners,
1st Earl of Rutland, Shrewsbury had issue:
Francis, Lord Talbot, who married, in 1562, Anne,
daughter of William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke,
but died in his father's lifetime;
Gilbert, Seventh Earl;
Henry;
Edward, who succeeded Gilbert as Eighth Earl;
and three daughters; of these,
Catherine (to whom Queen Elizabeth gave many
tokens of friendship) married, in 1563, Henry,
Lord Herbert (afterwards second Earl of Pembroke);
Mary married Sir George Savile of Barrowby, Lincolnshire;
Grace married Henry, son and heir of
Sir William Cavendish of Chatsworth.
By his second wife Shrewsbury had no issue.>>
