 Charles Wisner Barrell - Shakespeare's "Fluellen"
In his sketch of Sir Roger Williams in the Dictionary of National Biography, Sir Sidney Lee tells us that the Welsh hero was born in Monmouthshire (exactly the same county which Fluellen so pride fully claims as his birthplace); 1540 is the year given as the most probable date for this event.
While the evidence proving Sir Roger Williams to have been the prototype of Shakespeare's Fluellen is too voluminous and clear-cut to admit of doubt, no particle of proof has ever been adduced to show that William Shakspere of Stratford-on-Avon ever came face to face with this dashing Welsh military hero.
Where William of Stratford is merely the pale simulacrum of a random guess, the playwriting Earl appears as a documented entity in the known Shakespearean circle.

 Quotations that Support the Separation of State and Church
Prepared to transform the College of William and Mary into the principal university of the state, Jefferson would do so only if the college divested itself of all ties with sectarian religion--that is, with its old Anglicanism now represented by the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Moreover, Roger Williams' cogent and prophetic arguments in behalf of religious freedom were forgotten in the eighteenth century; they could not exert any influence on those who finally worked out the doctrine of religious freedom enshrined in the national Constitution.
To Williams the Puritan, the great justification for freedom of religion was the preservation of the purity of the Church; to the deistic Virginians, the important goal was the removal of a religious threat to the purity and freedom of the State.

However, by the time of Elizabeth's reign, the long-bow had begun to be replaced by firearms.

During Queen Mary's time, soldiers who were being trained to use guns found that their weapons often broke after being fired a few times, and that the ignition of the gunpowder could burn them; consequently, many soldiers took to averting their heads while firing, thus missing their targets.
