I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am a bastard
begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard
in valour, in every thing illegitimate. One bear will
not bite another, and wherefore should one bastard?
Take heed, the quarrel's most ominous to us: if the
son of a whore fight for a whore, he tempts judgment:
farewell, bastard.

Troilus and Cressida 

My bitches wear my collars, 
DO YOU HEAR ME?!

This man has seduced a Ward of the Queen  
and she has married without Royal Consent. 

These offences are punishable by law. 
Arrest him! GO! 



"In her book, The Life of Elizabeth I (1998), the British author and historian Alison Weir states Throckmorton and Raleigh’s first child was conceived by July 1591, the couple were married “in great secrecy” in the autumn of 1591, and their son was born in March 1592.

The boy was christened Damerei, after Sir Walter’s claimed ancestors, the D’Ameries. Damerei is believed to have died of the plague during infancy.

Weir states that Queen Elizabeth first became aware in May 1592 of the secret marriage and of Damerei’s birth, despite Bess and Sir Walter’s denials. The couple had married without royal permission, but, significantly, Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, was in on the secret and acting as godfather to the Raleighs’ son. 

Once the queen found out, she first placed Bess and Raleigh under house arrest, then sent them to the Tower of London, in June 1592. Raleigh was released from the Tower in August 1592 and Bess in December 1592, at which time she joined her husband at Sherborne Castle, his Dorset estate. 

Elizabeth expected the couple to sue for pardon, but they refused to, and Raleigh remained out of favour for five years."

AMBASSAGE

"Through both her parents, Bess had connections to Henry VIII. Her father, Nicholas Throckmorton, was the cousin of Henry’s sixth wife, Queen Catherine Parr. Anne Carew, Elizabeth’s mother, was the daughter of Nicholas Carew and Elizabeth Carew née Bryan. Nicholas had been a close friend of Henry’s, from childhood until his execution in 1539.

In her aforementioned book, Weir alleges that Elizabeth Carew had earlier been Henry VIII’s mistress, and that he had given her jewels that should technically have belonged to the queen when the queen gave birth to her son. However, there exist no contemporaneous references to a possibility that any of Elizabeth’s children were fathered by Henry.

AMBASSAGE


"In 1609, six years after Elizabeth died, when King James was still wearing the crown, a certain book was secretly being printed in London. 

And this book told a very different history from the one my teachers told me. 

This book reported that in fact Elizabeth had not been the chaste Virgin Queen. This book reported that, in fact, she had a child. 

“Blasphemy!” 

It told the story of a young Prince who was the unacknowledged Son of the Queen. 

It told how this young Prince tried to overthrow the government and failed. 

It told how he was arrested and put in the Tower of London. 

How he was charged with High Treason against The Crown. 

How he was tried, convicted and sentenced to die by that most grotesque form of execution – drawing and quartering. 

It told how at the last moment the Queen intervened to spare her son’s life. 

And it led to the inescapable conclusion that Elizabeth’s powerful secretary, Robert Cecil, plotted behind the Queen’s back to hold the young man hostage in the Tower until she died and he, Cecil, could put James of Scotland on the throne as King of England. 


Then, after pledging lifelong silence, the prince would be set free and given a Royal pardon. 

This was a hot book! After all, it was claiming that the King of Scotland had stolen the throne of England from a True and Rightful English heir, a Prince who deserved by blood to succeed Elizabeth! 

And this rightful heir was still very much alive! 

This book could start a Civil War! 

This book was Treason

It was a kind of diary and it read like a series of private letters, most written directly to the young Prince. 

The book was recording the Prince’s life up to the death of his mother Elizabeth and the moment of Succession to The Throne. 

The author recorded he was “tongue-tied by authority”prevented by the government from telling The Truth.

We mustn’t forget that Elizabeth and her government had total power of censorship, suppression, imprisonment, torture, even death, and she had made it High Treason to even speak or write about any royal claim. 

He called his book an “ambassage.” 

We don’t hear that word much these days because an “ambassage” is a secret message intended only for a monarch. 

An ambassador of the Court memorizes this message to avoid leaving any paper trail, and to give himself deniability: “Look, I’m not carrying any message!” 

He then delivers it to a King or Queen in person, orally. 

But the author of this dangerous book couldn’t do that; he was confined to words, words on the page, so it’s a “written ambassage” and he addresses it to the young Prince as a subject or “vassal” speaking to his monarch: 


LORD OF MY LOVE, TO WHOM IN VASSALAGE THY MERIT HATH MY DUTY STRONGLY KNIT, TO THEE I SEND THIS WRITTEN AMBASSAGE, TO WITNESS DUTY, NOT TO SHOW MY WIT -
DUTY SO GREAT, WHICH WIT SO POOR AS MINE MAY MAKE SEEM BARE, IN WANTING WORDS TO SHOW IT… 

The treasonous book I’m talking about was entitled :


SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS 

"SHAKE-SPEARES is hyphenated, indicating the likelihood of a pen name. 


It’s also part of the title, but where it should have gone was down here between the two parallel lines, where it should have said, “By William Shakespeare.”

But instead, it's just a blank space - They went to the trouble of printing the lines...!!
