 Candidates for Shakespeare Edward de Vere
Though de Vere possessed infelicitous characteristics (even Shakspere/ Shakespeare has been evidenced negatively from few ‘facts’ as being “snobbish, penny-pinching, neglectful of family, rude and unpopular”), there is no reason why inherent genius prevented the Earl of Oxford from “the writing of immortal dramas”.
Oxfordians say they, the later plays, were in fact written well before de Vere’s death, and were “brought up to performance standard” and published by his followers in theatre.

From his study of Coleridge, Aubrey de Vere received his first impulse towards Catholicity, which was developed by events following the conversion of Manning, and he was received into the Church, November, 1857, in the archbishop's chapel at Avignon.
His brother, Sir Stephen de Vere, the translator of the Odes and Epodes of Horace, also made heroic efforts at this time to better the condition of Irish emigrants; and the intimate friendship between the brothers led to their almost daily correspondence throughout their long lives.

 The de Vere Star
The de Vere line was certainly long, but it was not so illustrious perhaps as the Howards, the Percys, the Mortimers and the Talbots, and in their antiquity they were equalled by the Beauchamps, the Bruces, the Courtenays, the Setons and the Stewarts among many others.
It is worth noting that if the soldier should lose the case, the ancient name of de Vere would be separated from the title of Earl of Oxford and, without the means to support a family (for he was very poor), the soldier would be the end of the line.
The de Vere family adopted the star as a badge in addition to a charge in the first quarter of their arms, and thus it appeared on their standards and was worn by their armies.

It is something of a relief, then, to open Dennis Baron's slim paperback, which takes a mere 130 pages to promote the cause of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, as the author of the Shakespeare plays.
And if you are such a hardened skeptic that that doesn't convince you, then surely you will grant that "probably" Edward de Vere was known "among his literary and theatrical friends" by the nickname "Will".
Since every self­respecting Oxfordian knows that the Fair Youth was Southampton and Oxford's son by the Queen herself, clearly the fond father is encouraging his son to marry, lest 'vers' (de Vere senior) turns out to be the sole 'heir' the son will leave behind him.
