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.

Has there been any more development in confirming that William Shakespeares works where in fact works of Fulke Greville,Lord Brooke.
Its been very active in Warwick just recently with huge interest shown by many academics and tourists around the world who firmly believe Fulke Greville was the Master of Shakespeare,there are just to many coincidences that tie these two individuals together.
A good look around Warwick Castle and the Church where Fulke Greville is buried will show proof as to the many threads of proof that entwines through this mystery.
An interesting 400 year old portrait presuming to be of William Shakespeare known as the Cobbe portrait shows it is a positive match of Lord Brooke,Fulke Greville.
