Thomas Walsingham

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Walsingham, Thomas 

Died circa 1422. English chronicler. Monk at the abbey of St. Albans.

The historical chronicles of Walsingham that are devoted to the events of 1377 to 1422 serve as a narrative source on the political history of England of that period. They provide reliable accounts of such subjects as Wat Tyler’s uprising of 1381, the Lollards, and the career of Wycliffe.

On responsibility for Marlowe's death, he rejects political conspiracy (Charles Nicholl), Queen Elizabeth (Riggs), and Marlowe himself (Kuriyama) to blame the man with the dagger, Ingram Frizer, who murdered him (Honan suggests) to protect his interests and, quite possibly, those of his master Thomas Walsingham.
Christopher Marlowe: Poet and Spy by Lunney, Ruth / Renaissance Quarterly
There's fresh detail on the portrait in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, which is sometimes thought to depict the poet (Honan agrees), and a few tasty morsels relating to Marlowe's brutal and chaotic death at the hands of professionally unsavoury acquaintances - chief among them the suggestion that the poet's patron, Thomas Walsingham, is the latest in a long queue of suspects accused of ordering his murder.
Man of the moment by guardian.co.uk / guardian.co.uk
Detailed discussion is provided of Marlowe's relations with his mentor, Thomas Watson, a "purveyor of fashionable love poems and elegant translations" (92), and his patrons: Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland (the "Wizard Earl"), Lord Strange (writing for his Men); Thomas Walsingham (from 1592, after he had inherited the family estates and given up spying).
