If the engraving is of Shakespeare, it is wrong to assume that it is of the Stratford man and that he had connections with Lord Burghley. The real Shakespeare was Edward de Vere, who was the son-in-law of Lord Burghley.I have always said that the Shakespeare industry is trying to bring the Stratford man closer and closer to the life of de Vere, and now they are trying to connect him to the same family!

In my book "The Wit of William Shakespeare" I show that there are 908 episodes in the Shakespeare plays in which the actual words that were written by Shakespeare are directly connected to one specific person: Edward de Vere. When are people going to realize that the Stratford man, as presented, is a fiction, a myth?
