Was Fulke Greville really Shakespeare.Solving a Historic mystery between Shakespeare and Fulke Greville with the help of Fulke Grevilles 8th great grandson Christopher Brooke Fulke Greville and his cousin Historian Guy De La Bedoyere.

What an amazing mystery to be solved by some of the worlds leading investigative historians trying to link Lord Brooke,Fulke Greville to William Shakespeare. I recently met his 8th Great grandson a Christopher Brooke Fulke Greville who is a Medieval Historian,and he recognises that there is a strong link between his ancestor Lord Brooke,Fulke Greville and William Shakespeare and would be happy to show various old documents to anyone investigating this mystery.

Interesting supposition. Sounds like a novel pursuit.

Intentional pun.

I thought it was a put on at first myself. Maybe it is. Not much of a cryptoshakespearologist myself.

Was Shakespeare really Fulke Greville

No.

One of the most popular subjects in English Literature studies is: Who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays?

There are multiple candidates, all of whom have their learned and rabid adherents.

Great fun to read and compare, but this is a controversy that is not likely to be solved.

The speculation is that William Shakespeare could not have had the worldly knowledge - being a country hick - to write some of these plays.

The answer in one documentary I saw is that Shakespeare was highly educated as part of an underground Crypto-Catholic community.

Thank you for the post and welcome. These kind of articles are one of the reasons I stay here. There will be some gatekeepers who want you banned (IBTZ), but I think the moderators will see through them and allow the thread to stand.

This could well be an unfolding of an adventure that we should all cherish,especially if they do confirm that Fulke Greville and William Shakespeare are linked closer than anyone can imagine.
I for one would relish investigating this mystery.
Fulke Greville was a poet and Statesman within his own right and confirming any of this mystery would propel the Greville family to even more greatness.
On speaking to Christopher Fulke Greville and his brothers,its rather uncanny to see the physical resemblance to his Great ancestor when I visit Warwick Castles Ghost Tower.

Shakespeare went to the local school, but didn’t go to university; OTOH, as you note, he was involved with the Old Faith in Britain, and was a teacher early in his adulthood, for people who didn’t want their kids going to gov’t schools, say, that kinda sounds familiar... anyway, it’s humbling to realize that, by the time Shakespeare was my age, he’d been dead four months. ;’)

Hi,I do realise the moderators are the best overseers of this forum and certainly would not impede a serious investigation on what could well be of National importance.
If there is a confirmed link between Fulke Greville and Shakespeare I am sure there will be aggrieved parties but they will come to understand that the truth can only be positive,especially as they are both presumed to be English.
The interest shown by many thousands of patrons of Shakespeare and Fulke Greville will be beneficial in reviving interest in practical and financial terms around the world.
Thank God for mysteries.
By the way what is the roll of the gatekeepers,is it to secure entry,to what and why.

In the last 4-5 years we have become battle weary and on the look-out lest liberals sign-up on the site. Many here have a quick trigger finger on any post by a newbie. It can build up a momentum in which their ping list comes abord with lightening and kitties to attack the new poster. Fortunately, many of the mods are more reasonable. Seniority can be everything.

You posted on what I consider to be a safe and interesting topic. However the zotcats came out of the woodwork as if you were OB's chiff of staff.

I consider such people impulsive and worrisome, but some of us see them as self-appointed thread police. Thus the term gatekeeper. In this case, it seems clear they were too quick on the trigger.

It looks as though I have to go all out here and say I believe that the many works of William Shakespeare could well have been Fulke Greville.
I have just been shown some interesting old papers and oil paintings from his present ancestor,and I have to say that the similarities are frighteningly similar in many areas.
What would happen if Shakespeare was deemed to be Fulke Greville,certainly the History books will have to be re-written and the works will have to be reinterpreted to the character of Fulke Greville.
Fulke Greville with certainty was never a boring person and many of the Warwick Greville family have fabulous histories.

Of course there is always the political advantage played by the Tudors at the time,recognising that Fulke Greville was of Norman descent with Richard 111 being a relative.

[crypt]

Certainly Shakespeare was a country hick but a devout man with intelligence.
But Fulke Greville did have the high intellect and the breeding to bring any works of his time to life,thus making him the man to master many.
As far as underground Crypto-Catholic communities,I am sure many men of their day with traditional aristocratic breeding and specialist skills would be invited to join certain societies that are active to this day.
