I was rather underwhelmed. It looked exciting, it's a time period I enjoy reading about and I like a good mystery. The historical aspect was very well done (hence the 3 stars instead of 2) and interesting, the mystery, not so much. There was just too much trying to be contained in this story making the eventual reveal fall very flat with me. I frankly just didn't care any more. A few twists and turns and added clues are usually good, but 'Martyr' was making me feel like a martyr for trying to understand where all of the story was going. Enter John Shakespeare, brother to William and a clever, generous and handsome bloke to boot, who is recruited into Walsingham’s network. Between the brutal murder of one of the queen’s cousins in a burnt out house on London Bridge and a plot to assassinate Sir Francis Drake, John has his work cut out. Alongside all this, King Philip and his armada threatens, Mary Stuart is poised for execution, while Jesuit priests walk the streets, harvesting English souls, evading capture by hiding in the houses of Catholic sympathisers.Shakespeare comes into this world only to find out the worst news possible– that the queen is in danger. Not only that, but he and his family also find themselves at the center of some interest that they rather would not have attracted. And when the death of two lovers young in age appears to link into a plot, Shakespeare doesn’t know what to do. Could the Earl of Essex be involved? It appears so when the deaths of the two lovers somehow are related to an alleged plot by the Earl to take the English throne when Queen Elizabeth I passes.

Timeline

Yes, William’s father, John Shakespeare, was granted a coat of arms in 1596. It was disputed in 1602 by York Herald, Ralph Brooke, saying that the arms were too similar to existing coats of arms, and that the family was unworthy. However, the challenge was unsuccessful, as the Shakespeare coat of arms appears in later heraldic collections and on William Shakespeare’s funeral monument in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon. Does Shakespeare have descendants? Further information: Chronology of Shakespeare's plays The Plays of William Shakespeare, a painting containing scenes and characters from several plays of Shakespeare; by Sir John Gilbert, c. 1849 After the birth of the twins, Shakespeare left few historical traces until he is mentioned as part of the London theatre scene in 1592. The exception is the appearance of his name in the "complaints bill" of a law case before the Queen's Bench court at Westminster dated Michaelmas Term 1588 and 9 October 1589. [30] Scholars refer to the years between 1585 and 1592 as Shakespeare's "lost years". [31] Biographers attempting to account for this period have reported many apocryphal stories. Nicholas Rowe, Shakespeare's first biographer, recounted a Stratford legend that Shakespeare fled the town for London to escape prosecution for deer poaching in the estate of local squire Thomas Lucy. Shakespeare is also supposed to have taken his revenge on Lucy by writing a scurrilous ballad about him. [32] [33] Another 18th-century story has Shakespeare starting his theatrical career minding the horses of theatre patrons in London. [34] John Aubrey reported that Shakespeare had been a country schoolmaster. [35] Some 20th-century scholars suggested that Shakespeare may have been employed as a schoolmaster by Alexander Hoghton of Lancashire, a Catholic landowner who named a certain "William Shakeshafte" in his will. [36] [37] Little evidence substantiates such stories other than hearsay collected after his death, and Shakeshafte was a common name in the Lancashire area.
