 Anthony Bacon
Sir Francis Bacon's brother Anthony (1558-1601) was a vague presence glimpsed in the shadows of his famous brother, until Daphne du Maurier's 1975 biography of the two brothers, Golden Lads.
Anthony was plagued by crippling illness throughout his life—gout, perhaps arthritis—and is convincingly portrayed as "a bird in a cage." His occupation was that of a political correspondent, gathering information through a wide network of reporters or spies, first for Secretary Walsingham at Westminster, then for the Earl of Essex.
When Anthony left Mantaubon (with his Gascon page Jacques Petit) after the scandal, he lived for a time with brother Francis at Gray's Inn, and the biography paints a fine picture of quiet revelry there even though Anthony was most of the time confined to his bed.
