 Robert DUDLEY (1º E. Leicester)
Robert was the fifth child of thirteen, but not all his siblings survived into adulthood, and even of those that did, only Ambrose, Mary and Catherine survived into the reign of Elizabeth I.
Robert was and remained a close friend of Paget's sons, the younger of whom recalled some twenty years after these events the Duchess of Northumberland's affection for him and Robert's respect for his father.
He may well have been in love with her, as she was certainly a very vivacious, attractive woman, but in all probability he married her because she was pregnant, and was pressurised into making an honest woman of her by her influential family.

 Biographies: Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury
Although Robert's early education was through private tuition (it is generally thought that his main tutor was Dr Richard Neyle, later Archbishop of York), he attended St John's College, Cambridge from 1579, and in 1584 he travelled abroad, primarily to France where he briefly studied at the Sorbonne.

 Robert A. Baron -- Emblem & Narrative in Bernard Salomon's images for the Old Testament
In the Massacre of the Inhabitants of Jericho (Joshua VI, 21) [fig.
The third and last of the images that must be redated to 1561 from 1583 represents the encampment of Israel at Gilgal (Galilee) and the feast that accompanied the breaking of the desert diet, the cessation of the manna and the consumption of the fruits and produce of the new land (Joshua V, 10-11).
Speculation may suggest that by selecting a moment when the passage through the Jordan is combined with the construction of the celebratory monument, Salomon wished to fuse the concept of the latter with the fact of the crossing.

Robert Murray was apparently sensitive about criticism -- some of it from his fellow Quakers -- about his lifestyle and aristocratic ways, and so he took to calling this lavish coach ‘his leathern conveniency’.

 Recorde   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Robert was the second son of Thomas and Rose and, although the date is not definitely known, it is thought that he entered the University of Oxford in about 1525.
Certainly we know that he studied medicine at Oxford and was a highly educated man. In later life he was interested in history, collecting British antiquities and manuscripts, and he was an expert in the Anglo-Saxon language.
It may be that here Recorde showed more common sense than he did over the Pembroke affair of 1556, and chose not to commit himself to Copernicus's theory.

 Shakespeare Authorship
However, as Steven May points out in his essay, "the alleged code, handy and time-honored as it has become, does not square with the evidence." As May demonstrates, "Tudor aristocrats published regularly." The "stigma of print" is a myth.
May does concede that there was for a time a "stigma of verse" among the early Tudor aristocrats, "but even this inhibition dissolved during the reign of Elizabeth until anyone, of whatever exalted standing in society, might issue a sonnet or play without fear of losing status." This essay first appeared in Renaissance Papers.
Oxford was praised in print as a poet and playwright when he was alive, a fact which Oxfordians understandably try to use to their advantage.

 Robert Altman
Robert Altman calls the art cinema's blend of subjective and objective realism “subliminal reality” (8).
Their fractured and fragmentary narratives are not logically and causally inflected conflicts and resolutions but formal, lyrical designs that conceive social identity as multiple and unstable and frequently shaped by the debasement of contemporary values in popular entertainment.
Altman's films may be best understood in terms of three particular aspects of art-cinema narration: its interrogation of classical Hollywood storytelling and popular genres, its representation of debilitated and ineffectual social individuality, and its reflexive analysis of the entertainment industry as complicit in cultural alienation.

O'Connor writes in the areas of metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of religion, and in particular on the topics of free will, causation, properties, modality, the ontology of mental states, and the metaphysics of theism.
Recently, he has written several papers exploring the notion that mental states are ontologically emergent and has drafted a book on the metaphysics and epistemology of modality, with application to a very old, neglected, yet compelling argument for theism.
He is a contributor to the Cambridge History of Later Medieval Philosophy, the History of the University of Oxford, and Encyclopedia Britannica, and is on the editorial board (and a contributor to) the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
