 Gwynneth Bowen - Worcester's, Oxford's and The Admiral's
Since the servants of the Earl of Oxford share the blame for all this with those of the Earl of Worcester, it follows that they must have been one company at least since 1599.
Whether the whole company of the Earl of Worcester, as it stood in 1583, passed into the service of the Earl of Oxford in 1585 is immaterial, but I suggest that Edward Alleyn, Robert Browne, Richard Jones and James Tunstall did.
John Alleyn, not having been a member of Worcester's in 1583, is a case apart, but as landlord of the inn where Oxford's men played, he would be in a unique position in relation to that company and a sharer in his own right, independently of his status as an actor.
