    For *nine days* and nine nights he suffered.
    Self wounded by his spear, sacrificed by his hand, an
    offering unto himself. In agony and torment he stared into
    the bottomless depths of Niflheim, searching the dark pool in
    silence. Finally, with great effort, he reached down before
    him. His hand was chilled to the bone in the ice cold waters.

    . He took the *RUNES* and he used them well.

    <<Flemish writer [E]duard de [DENE] published a comical poem
    in 1539 about a nobleman who hatches a plan to send his servant
    back & forth on absurd errands on April 1st, supposedly to
    help prepare for a wedding feast. The servant recognizes
    that what’s being done to him is an April 1st joke. In the
    closing line of each stanza, the servant says, “I am afraid
    …that you are trying to make me run a fool’s errand.”>> -----------------------------------------------------------
    [E]duard de [DENE] friend: Marcus *Gheeraerts* the Elder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Gheeraerts_the_Elder

    <<Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder (c.1520–c.1590) was a Flemish
    printmaker & painter associated with the English court
    of the mid-16th Century and mainly remembered as the
    illustrator of the *1567* edition of Aesop's Fables.
    He etched the title page and 107 fable illustrations
    and had his friend, [E]duard de [DENE] ,
    write the book's fables in Flemish verse.>> ........................................................

    Less is known about Gheeraerts' color portraits or paintings
    as he never signed his work, & what does exist is identifiable
    only a certain stylistic "fuzziness" & an attempt to imitate
    *JAN Van Eyck*. Karel van Mander wrote in 1604 that
    Gheeraerts was a good landscape painter, who "often had the
    habit of including *a squatting, urinating woman on a bridge* .
    A similar detail is seen in one of his fable illustrations.>> -----------------------------------------------------------

    . an amalgam of that of Rolin & the christ child
    . (and possibly the madonna as well).

    4) The breast shaped disks over Shakespere's head representing
    the breast shaped disks in the windows that frame the painting.

    as Jesus's right middle & forefinger extended in blessing. ....................................................

    <<Marcus Gheeraerts (Bruges, c. 1561/2 – 19 Jan. 1636) was a Flemish artist brought to England as a child by his father Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder. He became a fashionable portraitist in the last decade of the reign of Elizabeth I under the patronage
    of her champion and pageant-master Sir [HENRY LEE]. He introduced a new aesthetic in English court painting that captured the essence of a sitter through close observation. He became a favorite portraitist of James I's queen Anne of Denmark.>>

    Newly Discovered Oxford-Shakespeare Pictorial Evidence
    by Charles Wisner Barrell
    The Shakespeare Fellowship Quarterly, April 1944.

    <<It is surprising——to find that up to the present only
    three representations of the Poet Earl have come to
    light in an unchanged and easily recognizable state.

    These are: the life-size, half-length canvas of Oxford at 25, painted
    by a Flemish artist named Lewyn or Levins during the Earl's first
    visit to Paris in 1575, and now the property of the Duke of Portland;
    the less-than-life-size panel portrait evidently painted in 1585-86 by
    Marcus Gheeraedts the Younger and now owned by the Duke of St. Albans;
    and the drawing in the British Museum by Marcus Gheeraedts the Elder,
    showing Oxford, aged 22, carrying the same Sword of State before
    Queen Elizabeth during a Garter procession at Windsor in June 1572. ............................................................... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_de_Vere.JPG
    Portrait of Earl of Oxford (16th/17th?)
    by Marcus Gheeraedts the Younger

    An engraving of the Gheeraedts sketch was made during the 17th century
    by that great master, Wenceslaus Hollar. A reproduction of Hollar's
    work was printed in Capt. Bernard M. Ward's biography, The Seventeenth
    Earl of Oxford (1928). Mr.Looney had reproduced the Duke of Portland's
    painting as the frontispiece to "Shakespeare" Identified in 1920;
    and the first photographic reproduction to be made of the Duke of
    St. Albans' panel appeared among the illustrations that I used in
    the January 1940, issue of Scientific American to identify the
    Ashbourne "portrait of Shakespeare" as a slightly disguised original
    painting of Lord Oxford by the Dutch master, Cornelius Ketel.

    These three pictures—the Hollar engraving, the Portland
    canvas and the St. Albans Panel—have been the touchstones of
    pictorial research in solving the Oxford-Shakespeare mystery,
    beginning with Mr. Looney's great work in 1920.>> -----------------------------------------------------
    "The reminiscences of Lady Dorothy Nevill :
    edited by her son Ralph Nevill" (1906)

    A great authority on musical instruments, he was
    especially learned about bells, and knew all about
    the manner in which they were cast. I wished to have
    a bell set up at the entrance to my garden in the
    country, and he gave me the address of an excellent
    BELL-founder at Louvain — Severin Van Aerschoots,
    I think the name was. Mr. Haweis composed
    a motto to be inscribed on this BELL, which ran :

    __ *NEVILE VELIS* — as I swing,
    __ *NE VELIS VILE* — so I sing.

    Welcome to all, nor wish them ill,
    __ My Lady Dorothy Nevill'

    This bell, of excellent sound and tone, was
    duly cast by the fondeur des cloches whom
    I have mentioned, and became an object
    of great interest in my Sussex garden. ----------------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_NORTH
    .
    . *Council of the NORTH*
    .
    After the Wars of the Roses and the emergence of the Tudor
    dynasty, there were some troubles in the area in relation
    to the English Reformation, and the dissolution of the
    Monasteries under Henry VIII. In the NORTH, most people remained
    staunch supporters of the Catholic faith and were deepy unhappy
    with the changes; the people rose up in York creating a
    30,000 strong rebel Catholic army carrying crosses & banners
    depicting the Holy Wounds; this became known as the Pilgrimage of
    Grace. Henry VIII's army was not strong enough to fight them, and so
    Thomas Howard was sent to negotiate peace with rebel leader Robert
    Aske. It was promised that the rebels would be pardoned and a
    parliament would be held in York to discuss their demands; the
    rebels convinced that the monasteries would be re-opened returned
    to their homes. However as soon as they returned to their homes,
    Henry had the rebel leaders arrested and executed 200 people.
    In 1530, the Council of the NORTH was re-instated in York as a means
    to govern the area at arms length. It had its own set of presidents
    who were generally earls, Church of England bishops and lords; some of
    whom were actually born in the NORTH. By 1641 the Long Parliament had
    the Council abolished due to reasons relating to the Reformation, the
    Council was the chief support for Catholic Recusants and Anglicans. --------------------------------------------------------

    <<Now Sancho, seeing him without his former deformity,
    said to him, 'and your nose ? ' To which he answered,
    'Here it is in my pocket ' ; and, putting his hand
    to his right side, he pulled out a pasted nose and
    a varnished vizard, of the manufacture described.
    And Sancho, more and more beholding him, with a loud
    and admiring voice said, 'Saint Mary defend me ! and
    is not this *Thomas CECIaL* my neighbour and my gossip?'
    'And how say you by that ? ' quoth the unnosed squire.
    ' *Thomas CECIaL* I am, gossip and friend Sancho,
    and straight I will tell you the conveyances, sleights,
    and tricks that brought me hither ; in the meantime
    request and entreat your master that he touch not,
