    <<Written by Sir FULKE [GREVIL] Recorder of [STRAT][FORD] (1606-1628) ------------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_(As_You_Like_It)

    <<Orlando is the youngest son of the deceased Sir Rowland de Bois and is the brother of [OLIVER] de Bois and Jacques. He is brave, chivalrous, tender, modest, smart, strong, and handsome. He resents the harsh treatment he receives at [OLIVER]'s hands and
    laments how [OLIVER] has denied him an education and the money is rightfully owed. Nevertheless, he is not successful in expressing his love for Rosalind to her before he escapes to the Forest of Arden with his servant Adam.

    At the start of the play Orlando is indignant to the harsh treatment of his brother [OLIVER], and he is unaware of [OLIVER]'s plot to kill him during a wrestling match. Though he wins the match he angers Duke Frederick, and therefore he flees the court
    to live in the Forest of Arden. There, he is accepted into the circle of the usurped Duke Senior and begins to find freedom in life in the forest. A more poetic side to him comes out as he leaves poems on trees to Rosalind. When Rosalind sees these poems
    she strikes up a relationship with him as Ganymede, and the two act out a relationship between Orlando and Rosalind under the guise that it will cure Orlando of his love for her. By the end of the story he is married to Rosalind and reinstated in his
    wealth and station.

    He is portrayed as exceptionally strong in both body and in his devotion to love. It is these qualities that make Rosalind fall in love with him.>>

    <<IN JANUARY 7, 1575, *LORD OXFORD* set forth with his retinue,
    . consisting, as Burghley noted in his diary, of "two gentlemen,
    . two grooms, one payend, a harbinger, a housekeeper & a trenchman."

    titular Grand Prior *RICHARD SHELLEY* (who was an active participant
    in several plots against Elizabeth) & *Sir [OLIVER] STAR-KEY*
    (commander of Quenington), later titular Bailiff of Egle (from 1569).>>

    . Secretary and was the only Englishman at the Great Siege,
    . died in 1588 & *RICHARD SHELLEY* in 1590, when a French
    . knight was appointed to the titular Grand Priory.
    .
    This appointment was challenged by an Irish knight resident
    in the convent, one *ANDREW WISE* from Waterford who, after
    complaining, was appointed Bailiff of Egle but, still unsatisfied,
    appealed to the Pope. In 1593 Wise was appointed titular Grand Prior,
    a dignity he held until his death in 1631. From thenceforth the
    offices of Grand Prior of England, Turcopilier, Bailiff of Egle
    and Prior or Grand Prior of Ireland became honorifics given to
    knights whom the Grand Master & Council wished to honor with
    the grand cross & membership of the Chapter-General.>> ---------------------------------------------------------------

    <<The origin of the word "PILLAR" is "Pilier" (French) refers to the
    senior officers of the Order of St. John who were "piliers" or heads
    of the "Langues" or "Tongues". When the Order was in Rhodes, it
    organised itself in a way that has lasted for centuries. Members
    who came from the same regions, tended to stick together and sowere
    grouped in the "Langues" or "Tongues". I imagine they were so called
    because they all spoke the same language or tongue. The Piliers"
    (PILLARs), together with the Bishop of the Order, the Prior, the
    *BAILIFFs* & Senior Knights formed the Council or advisory body
    to the Grand Master. The Piliers were each assigned a special
    function, thus the Pilier of Italy was the Admiral; the Pilier
    of France was the Hospitaller; the Pilier of Provence was the
    Grand Commander and the Pilier of England was the *TURCOPOLIER*
    or commander of the light cavalry. According to the book
    "The Orders of St. John", there were eight Langues, one for each
    point of the cross, and each represented by a Conventual BAILIFF or
    Pillier. Provence,(the Grand Commander), Auvergne (the Marshal),
    France (the Hospitaller), Italy (the Admiral), Aragon (the Drapier,
    later Grand Conservator), England (the TURCOPOLIER), Germany
    (the Grand BAILIFF) and Castille-Portugal (the Grand Chancellor).
    Each of the eight Langues created their own headquarters
    called an Auberge, in which they lived with their Pillier.>> -------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Tresham_(died_1559)

    <<Sir *THOMAS TRESHAM* (died 8 March 1559) was a leading Catholic politician. Tresham was knighted by 1524. In 1530 he served on a Royal Commission inquiring into Cardinal Wolsey's possessions. In 1539 he was one of those appointed to receive Henry VIII'
    s future fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, at Calais. On 18 July 1553 he proclaimed Queen Mary at Northampton, and accompanied her on her entry into London. He was one of those appointed on 3 August 1553, "to staye the assemblies in Royston and other places
    of Cambridgeshire". He married firstly Mary Parr, youngest daughter and co-heir of William Parr, 1st Baron Parr of Horton, by whom he had two sons.

    He was named Grand Prior of England in the Order of Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem by Royal Charter dated 2 April 1557, qualifying him for a seat in the House of Lords. It was not till 30 November that the order was re-established in
    England with four knights under him, and he was solemnly invested. In the meantime Sir *RICHARD SHELLEY* had been made turcopolier at Malta.>>
    --------------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulke_Greville,_1st_Baron_Brooke

    <<Fulke [GREVIL]le, 1st Baron Brooke, de jure 13th Baron Latimer and 5th Baron Willoughby de Broke KB PC, known before 1621 as Sir Fulke [GREVIL]le, was an Elizabethan poet, dramatist, and statesman who sat in the House of Commons at various times
    between 1581 and 1621, when he was raised to the peerage. Greville was a capable administrator who served the English Crown under Elizabeth I and James I as, successively, treasurer of the navy, chancellor of the exchequer, and commissioner of the
    Treasury, and who for his services was in 1621 made Baron Brooke, peer of the realm. Greville was granted Warwick Castle in 1604, making numerous improvements. Greville is best known today as the biographer of Sir Philip Sidney, and for his sober poetry,
    which presents dark, thoughtful and distinctly Calvinist views on art, literature, beauty and other philosophical matters.

    In 1628 Greville was stabbed at his house in London by Ralph Haywood, a servant who believed that he had been cheated in his master's will. Haywood then turned the knife on himself. Greville's physicians treated his wounds by filling them with pig fat
    which turned rancid and infected the wounds, and he died in agony four weeks after the attack. His body was brought back to Warwick, and he was buried in the Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick, and on his tomb was inscribed the epitaph he had composed:

    .
    <<*SIR edward COKE* ("Cook") (1 Feb. 1552 – 3 Sept. 1634) was an
    English jurist & Member of Parliament whose writings on the common
    law were the definitive legal texts for nearly 150 years. Born into a
    family of minor Norfolk gentry, Coke was eventually being appointed
    Solicitor General and then Attorney General by Queen Elizabeth. As
    Attorney General, Coke famously prosecuted Sir Walter Raleigh and the
    Gunpowder Plot conspirators for treason. In 1606, Coke was made Chief
    Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, later being elevated, in 1613,
    to Lord Chief Justice of England. Despite his 1616 dismissal from the
    bench, Coke remained an influential political figure, leading
    parliamentary opposition to the Crown in the 1620s. His career in
    parliament culminated in 1628 when he acted as one of the primary
    authors of the Petition of Right. This document reaffirmed the rights
    of Englishmen and prevented the Crown from infringing them. In later
    times, both English reformers and American Patriots, such as John
    Lilburne, James Otis, and John Adams, used Coke's writings to
    support their conceptions of inviolable civil liberties.>> -----------------------------------------------------
