Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford 1 by SGFoxe I'm currently reading Mark Anderson's biography of Edward de Vere, and am totally convinced by his argument. I assume the April 12, 1550 OS date is canonical. The bio states de Vere studied "cosmography" and, since, Dee was a major Elizabethan cosmographer, wonder if there is classical horoscopic study out on de Vere? Quote Mon May 02, 2011 3:50 am
2 by Joanie wow, what a specific question! i have no idea but good luck in your search Quote Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:20 pm
3 by SGFoxe the date seems canonical -- found in Burghley's records there is a movie coming out on DeVere called "Anonymous" about the Essex Uprising (from trailer) Quote Mon Jun 27, 2011 8:57 pm
4 by Boris060 Any progress in your Earl Oxford research? Here is what I found in his biography(by Nelson):?The mathematicians that calculated the nativity of this Earl Edward told the Earl his father than the earldom would fall in the son?s time.? Looks like a powerful clue)) Quote Tue Dec 20, 2011 10:29 am
de Vere 5 by SGFoxe Did Nelson give a date other than April 12, 1550 which may not be correct. Anderson thinks that Burghley put it in his notes 25 years after the fact to thwart curiosity -- but this to support that deVere the bastard of Elizabeth -- a consequent of Thomas Seymour, the Dowager Queen Katherine's (new, post henry viii) husband Quote Wed Dec 28, 2011 8:57 pm
