	November 25th
		Edward Alleyn, the son of an innkeeper, was born at the sign of the 'Pye,' in Bishopsgate, London.
		Alleyn's first wife was Joan Woodward, the step daughter of one Henslowe, a theatrical speculator and pawnbroker; a thrifty man, withal, well calculated to foster and develop the acquisitive spirit, so characteristic of the future life of his step son in law.
		Though Alleyn had, without doubt, a keen eye for a bargain, a ready hand to turn a penny, and an active foot for the main chance, he was, unlike many men of that description, of a true, affectionate, and kindly nature; ever anxious for the welfare and happiness of his home and its inmates.

	Gwynneth Bowen - Worcester's, Oxford's and The Admiral's
		Edward Alleyn and he may, or may not, still have been members of Worcester's, as they presumably were only seven months before; John Alleyn may, or may not, have joined the company; and the company, itself, may, or may not, have broken up; but amid all these uncertainties one fact is clear.
		Now, it is well-known that Edward Alleyn was baptized at St. Botolph's without Bishopsgate, on 2nd September 1566, and that his father was Edward Alleyn, of Willen, Bucks., Innholder and Porter to the Queen, but it seems to have been almost forgotten that he also had an inn in Bishopsgate.
		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.

	The Admiral's Men
		Edward Alleyn, the company's leading actor, decided to retire in 1597, leaving the company no-one to rival Richard Burbage of the Chamberlain's Men.
		The Fortune did give the Globe tough competition, and Alleyn retired permanently in 1603, the year of the death of Queen Elizabeth I.
		Soon, the patronage of the company was transferred to Prince Henry, eldest son of King James I, and was renamed Prince Henry's Men, or the Prince's Men.

	To Prove a Villain -- The Real Richard III
		Edward Alleyn gave to Dulwich College, which he had founded in 1613-19, a set of 26 Royal Portraits which had cost him £8.13s.4d.
		Alleyn, as an actor-manager, will have felt the value of portraits of kings whom he might find himself recreating on stage.
		Anne is in the center of her group, flanked on her right by her first husband, Edward of Lancaster, heir to Henry VI, and on her left by a three-quarter view of Richard that is remarkably consistent with the arch-topped portrait in the Society of Antiquaries.

	Fathom :: The Source for Online Learning
		By 1600 the position was reversed, and the reputations as tragedians of Edward Alleyn and Richard Burbage dominated the theatre world; in 1599 Will Kemp jigged his way out of the "world," and his successor Robert Armin was as renowned for being a playwright as for being a clown.
		Alleyn was born in 1566, the son of a London "innholder." Possibly his father's occupation brought him into early contact with the players, for he was already with a leading company, Worcester's, by the time he was sixteen.
		Two years younger than Alleyn, Burbage was a younger son of the carpenter turned impresario who built the Theatre in 1576, and first appears at the age of twenty-three, named in a lawsuit as defending his father's takings.

		How Alleyn found the money to make that noble foundation is only one of the many points which remain "behind the Curtain of the Dark." Henslowe reports two more Alleyns, Charles, and Richard, and amongst Anthony Bacon's letters are at least six from Godfrey Alleyn.
		Browne is now a common name, yet we may note that Edward Alleyne's step-father was a Browne, that Richard Browne was one of the company of actors who beyond seas to perform their plays, and that Henry Browne was a faithful servant friend to whom Bacon left a legacy.
