<<THOMAS LODGE (c. 1558 - September 1625) was an English dramatist
and writer of the Elizabethan % Jacobean periods. He was born about
1558 at West HAM, the second son of Sir Thomas Lodge, who was Lord
Mayor of the City of London in 1562-1563. His mother's stepfather
was Sir William Laxton, another Lord Mayor of the City of London.
Thomas' brother, William, married Mary, the daughter
of the Master of the REVEls, Thomas Blagrave.

Young Thomas served as PAGE to the Stanleys, Earls of Derby,
until approximately 1571, when he enrolled in the Merchant-Taylors'
School. From there he went on to Trinity College, Oxford,
where he took his degree in 1577.>> --------------------------------------------------------
