	David Burghley
		Burghley made his Olympics debut in Paris in 1924, when he was eliminated in the first round of the 110 m hurdles.
		Burghley was elected to Parliament in 1931, but was granted a leave of absence to compete in the 1932 Summer Olympics, where he placed fifth in the 400 m hurdles and won a silver medal as a member of British 4x400 m relay team.
		Burghley is also said to have set another unusual record by racing around the upper promenade deck of the Queen Mary in 57 seconds, dressed in everyday clothes.

	William CECIL (1° B. Burghley)
		Burghley was ambitious on behalf of his clever second son, Robert, and not inclined to encourage a rival, especially one who possessed such transcendent abilities as those of his nephew.
		Burghley and his son in law did not get on well together; one reason for the enmity which existed between them was the Lord Treasurer's refusal to intervene to save the Duke of Norfolk, Oxford's cousin, from the block.
		Burghley was not successful in his schemes for the marriages of his wards, for in addition to the unhappy match of his daughter Anne, he had tried to arrange a union between his grand-daughter, Lady Elizabeth De Vere and Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, then his ward as Master of the Court of Royal Wards.

	Cecil - LoveToKnow 1911
		The first Lord Burghley's many inquiries concerning the origin of his family created for it more than one splendid and improbable genealogy, although his grandfather is the first ascertained ancestor.
		In the latter half of the 15th century a family of yeomen or small gentry with the surname of Seyceld, whose descendants were accepted by Lord Burghley as his kinsmen, lived on their lands at Allt yr Ynys in Walterstone, a Herefordshire parish on the Welsh marches.
		This David seems identical with David Cyssell, Scisseld or Cecill, a yeoman admitted in 1494 to the freedom of Stamford in Lincolnshire.

	William Cecil
		David somehow secured the favor of Henry VII, to whom he seems to have been yeoman of the guard.
		On the 25th of February 1571 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Burghley of Burghley (or Burleigh); the fact that he continued to act as secretary after his elevation illustrates the growing importance of that office, which under his son became a secretaryship of state.
		Burghley's private life was singularly virtuous; he was a faithful husband, a careful father and a considerate master.

	cecil
		Burghley represented the active temperment, and his nephew the contemplative, those two great divisions into which the whole of Humanity is divided, with varying gradations and combinations.
		Burghley had a remarkable and far-reaching system of espionage and some of his agents were not too scrupulous in their methods.
		Burghley is shown carrying a carnation and a sprig of honey-suckle in his right hand.

	Lakeview Museum Exhibits: More Burghley House Treasures
		The contents of Burghley House remain basically unchanged to the present day, due to the enormity of the house–lots of rooms and cupboards to store things–and a family propensity to never throw anything away.
		The last private owner of Burghley House, David Cecil (1909-1981), 6th Marquess of Exeter, won the Olympic gold medal in 1928 and silver medal in 1932 for the hurdles.
		Burghley House is the grandest house of its period still inhabited by direct descendants of the builder.

		Burghley was elected to Parliament in 1931, but was granted a leave of absence to compete in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, where he placed fourth in the 400m hurdles.

	David Hemery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Peter Hemery (born July 18, 1944) is a former British athlete, winner of 400 metre hurdles at the 1968 Summer Olympics.
		He was born in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, but his father's work took the family to the United States, where David Hemery attended school, graduating from Boston University in 1969 and won a NCAA championships in 400 m hurdles in 1968.
		Hemery's first International title came at the 1966 Commonwealth Games, where he won the 120 yd hurdles in 14.1, a title he retained four years later at 1970 Commonwealth Games (it was by then the 110 m hurdles) which he won with 13.8.

	Polonius As Lord Burghley Part Four
		Inasmuch as the purpose of this Oxfordian claim is that courtiers would have recognized Polonius as a lampoon of Burghley, we should consider the image of him in the words of William Camden, perhaps the most reliable commentator on the famous figures of his day.
		In regard to Oxford's betrothal to Burghley's daughter, a letter by him at the time states that this marriage was the earl's wish.
		The fable relies, it seems, on this particular sphere of activity for which Burghley was well known and criticized in order, by association, to draw attention to activity in another sphere for which he was not known and deserved criticism.

		Nor, though you would never guess it from the entries in most of the athletics books, was he called Lord David Burghley.
		In fact, he was the eldest son and heir to the Marquess of Exeter, and his name was David George Brownlow Cecil Lord Burghley; or David Burghley if you knew him well.
		What Burghley did do (and this escapade was somewhat meanly handed to Harold Abrahams in Chariots of Fire) was run round the Great Court at Trinity while the clock struck 12.

		Burghley might be the most powerful lord in the land but he could not point to a long line of illustrious ancestors, or indeed to any line of ancestors at all.
		In fact his brusque letter of refusal to Lord Burghley gave such great offence Manwood was placed under house arrest till he sent an abject apology.
		With his links to Burghley, and as the living embodiment of the Queen's determination to control and thwart Essex, he could never hope to be liked or trusted.

	Oxfordian Myths: Was Burghley Called "Polus"?
		David Ignatius was parroting an Oxfordian myth that has been around for fifty years, and for fifty years Oxfordians have repeated or even embellished this myth without checking its sources.
		Some have argued that the name Polonius is a takeoff on a couple of nicknames that Burghley had: Polus (as mentioned in Gabriel Harvey's 1578 Latin address to Lord Burghley) and Pondus (found in a letter from Roger Manners to the Earl of Rutland dated June 2, 1583).
		The evidence that Burghley was ever known as "Pondus" is extremely slight -- as Alexander says, the word does appear in a letter, and although Burghley is not named, Oxfordians have guessed that he is being referred to -- but the evidence for "Polus" is, as we have seen nonexistent.

	Helping David Riggs Get his Facts Straight
		Instead Burghley, who, as his master, was "in the know," just winked and kept on employing Marlowe at the highest possible levels of the English net.
		Since Marlowe is supposedly killed in a Burghley "safe-house" by a proxy of the Walsinghams, we would be wise to suspect a ruse or machination, a deception in Deptford, but not the sort that appears to either Riggs or Nicholl.
		Lord Burghley was Marlowe's master, at least from 1586/7, when Burghley signs the Privy Council's entail demanding Marlowe's M.A., until May 1593, proving, once and for all, that the charade in Flushing was a ruse.

	Scotsman.com Sport - Athletics - Wholly Moses is Richardson route to top as youngster looks to clear hurdles
		It has been beyond the greatest hurdlers in more than 100 years - to combine the varied demands of the 110m hurdles, showing maximum speed despite having your path blocked by barrier after barrier, with the strength and stamina required to emerge victorious in the "man-killer", the 400m hurdles.
		Historically, many top sprint hurdlers have moved on to reach the top in the one-lap event: David Hemery was Commonwealth high hurdles champion before setting a world record in winning Olympic 400m hurdles gold in Mexico City in 1968, and Alan Pascoe won titles at both events in the 1970s.
		Before them, David Burghley, who became the Marquis of Exeter and who was loosely portrayed in the film Chariots of Fire as the toff who practised by having his butler place glasses of champagne on the hurdles, was equally adept at 110 and 400m hurdle events.
