I did not present all of the evidence -- only that which Amos might understand. For instance, the letter grouping "tn" ALSO is the abbreviation for "Tennessee", where Shakespeare moved after his "death" in 1606. QE1 was on his tail because of something involving her tail in 1602. Specifically, Bill had introduced her to a new book, just translated, called "Ye Kama Suytra", which they studied together. Bill had picked up some sort of disorder from an actress at The Globe and shared it with E1 -- some only slightly worse than a cold, according to her doctors.

Anyway, Bill fled to Tennessee where he lived with the Shawnee Indians. In 1618 he returned to England and wrote under the nom de plumes of John Milton and John Dunne. He actually died in 1669 as the age of 105, jumping out a bedroom window as an irate husband jumped in the door, sword in hand. Since the bedroom at Hampton Court was four stories up, Bill's landing left something to be desired, which was life.

He is buried in unconsecrated ground at the Tower of London, right under the Block. That business in Stratford-On-Avon was just a tourist gimmick.
