• 30th May - English playwright and spy Christopher Marlowe is mortally wounded during a duel in a London tavern. Marlowe survives, and the control device implanted in his brain by the Greld during their attack on the Roanoke colony is removed by the attending surgeon, who is unaware of its true nature. Some time after his brush with death, Marlowe leaves London, allowing others to believe him dead. He will later turn up in Venice using the name Giovanni Chigi. MA: The Empire of Glass)
