So Christipher Marlowe was an English dramatist, he is known among many other things for his mysterious death. A warrant was issued for Marlowe's arrest on 18 May 1593, o reason for it was given. On 20 May he was brought to court for questioning. Ten days later he was stabbed to death by Ingram Frizer, however whether the stabbing was connected to his arrest has never been resolved.
Marlowe attended The King's School in Canterbury, where he studied on a scholarship and received his Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1587 the university then hesitated to award him his master's degree, poor thing, because of a rumour that he had converted to Roman Catholicism and intended to go to the English college at Rheims to prepare for the priesthood. But you neeedn't worry because someone intervened and all was well.
There are many different variations of Marlowe's death and it is still not resolved today. However most people believe it was a drunken fight that got Marlowe killed. Frizer was released because the coroner supposedly found evidence that he was acting in self defence. Hmm..
