| Poet, born near Taunton, Somerset, SW England, UK. He entered Oxford in 1579, but left it without a degree. In 1607 he became one of the queen's grooms of the privy chamber, and had charge of a company of young players at Bristol. His works include sonnets, epistles, masques, and dramas; but his chief production was a poem in eight books, A History of the Civil Wars between York and Lancaster. |
