Christopher Marlowe (Feb. 26, 1564 - May 30, 1593)
Christopher Marlowe attended Cambridge on a scholarship, and received his bachelor's degree in 1584 and his master's in 1587. In the same year, his first play, "Tamburlaine," was performed in London with great success. He wrote several other plays, although their chronology is unknown; however, all were on what were considered to be very controversial topics at the time. There are many rumors concerning his true identity - some say he was a criminal and a fighter, while others say he was a spy to Elizabeth I. He died in a barfight that he himself had instigated.
