Welcome to FR.
Can you tell those of us who are interested more?
Thank you.

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

Thank you for the link.
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 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. ;’)
