What if William Shakespeare didn't write any of the plays or sonnets attributed to him? What if he couldn't? What if he was illiterate? And if William Shakespeare didn't write them, who did, and why is Shakespeare's name attached to plays he didn't write? Love's Labor Lost is the gripping tale, told in narrative fiction, of a brilliant, political figure, fourteenth in line for throne of England, whose affair and clandestine child by the "virgin queen," Elizabeth I, threw the succession into jeopardy and opened England to the immanent threat of invasion. The father of that secret child and author of the "Shakespeare" plays was forced to shed his name, his reputation, and any connection he had with the crown, replaced by William Shakespeare, an illiterate in need of money. This is the true story of how William Shakespeare went down in history as the most famous playwright the world has ever known, while the actual author, away from court and out of power, died in excruciating pain, reworking plays he knew would never be published under his own name.… (altro)

Elizabethan England The Road to Windsor Castle Mid Winter, 1623
One might assume the winter snows would have cooled the hot winds of conspiracy. Not so this frozen winter day. As the heavy snow of February blinded galloping horses whose hooves cracked the ice along the road to Windsor Castle, royal hands warmed before Windsor’s huge hearth as thoughts of deception stoked its flames. “But at what price the realm?” James I, the King of England, thought as he drew his palms back from the heat, although he well knew the price, or at least suspected it. Susan Herbert, her steeds plowing through a frozen mist that flared their nostrils, had no problem with secrecy or the price of deception. Beyond her husband, the Earl of Montgomery, she had confided in no one, certainly not in matters of this gravity, and especially not in the affairs of court. Had it not been the court’s duplicity that had brought England to this regrettable day?
