His father was bare illiterate, 100% no arguments. He was not middle class, he had a criminal record for grain hoarding. The school was shut, there's zero evidence of it being open at the time. Grammar schools were not permanent entities. My son attended the oldest in the country, except it isn't, it was shut numerous times in it's history. Only now does it look like Hogwarts.
We don't really have his signature do we, we have this pile of scrawl. And that's it. This attribution of Munday's play is bogus. You cannot compare those signatures to that manuscript. But you can de Vere's though. Ouch!.

Seek and you shall find. For starters, take a look at pic related.
