[Blind Eye Jones]

I think the real Shakespeare was the Queen of England, Elizabeth I, who, by all accounts knew about medicine, history, astro travel, law, book keeping, dentistry, astronomy and poisons. What she didn't know she had the trusted Earl of Oxford and Francis Bacon to advise and inform her. Between wars with Spain she always had a lot of time on her hands and this was a constructive way to keep her idle hands busy. Not having any children she was free to read her Machiavelli, spawn and quash some court intrigues and play the biggest literary prank known to only a few of her most devoted sycophants.

She died in 1603, Shakespeare continued to write until 1613. :’)
