paragraph: Leo Drabent

paragraph: Leo Drabent (15 June 1899 – 20 November 1944) was a German peace campaigner and Communist activist.

paragraph: He was beheaded at the Brandenburg-Görden Prison after campaigning against the war, which ended in defeat for Germany some six months later.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: As early as 1917 Leo Drabent was painting anti-war slogans on walls and fences in his hometown. 1917 as also the year in which he completed his traineeship as a fitter and, on reaching his eighteenth birthday, was drafted into the army. He was sent to the front, almost immediately badly wounded, and sent home. By this time he had also been part of a successful campaign to reduce from five to four years the training period for industrial apprenticeships in parts the metal based industrial sector. He joined the Communist Party in 1923 and later became the party's policy head for the Bremen sub-district. In 1929 he undertook a training at the "Rosa Luxembourg National Party School" ("„Reichsparteischule Rosa Luxemburg“") at Fichtenau, after which he took an responsibility for Marxist training (""...für die marxistischen Schulungen"") in the Communist Party's North West region. Also in 1929 he became Party Agitation and Propaganda Secretary for the Wasserkante district and a member of the Hannover .

paragraph: In January 1933 the NSDAP (Nazi Party) took power. A priority for the new government was the rapid establishment in Germany of one-party government, and the new Chancellor had, in opposition, been particularly vitriolic about the Communist Party. Leo Drabent had incurred the wrath of many Nazis during their time in opposition by attending Nazi Party meetings and speaking out against their anti-worker policies. It was reported that 200 members of the Nazi Party quasi-military wing were mandated to find and arrest Leo Drabent. The arrest took place in May 1933. He spent the next few months in concentration camps at Brandenburg and Oranienburg, and also at the latter's sub-camp at Gut Elisenau (near Bernau) where he was tortured and badly mistreated. On his release he went to work at the AG Weser shipyard in Bremen. He was rearrested in July 1936 and after a lengthy period of pre-detention sentenced, in November 1937, to three years in prison. The pretrial detention counted towards his prison term and he was released in July or August 1939.

paragraph: On his release he worked in a Bremen boat repair yard and resumed his (since 1933 illegal) work for the Communist Party. As war returned, he established a resistance network together with and Gustav Böhrnsen later became a mayor of Bremen, of three and five person groups, and connected with the Hamburg based Bästlein-Jacob-Abshagen Group. On 29 March 1943 Hans Neumann, Leo Drabant, his wife along with eight other resistance members were arrested by the Gestapo. On 13 October 1944 the special People's Court sentenced them all to death because they had "attempted to destroy the resistance of the German people with Communist Propaganda" (" „die Widerstandskraft des deutschen Volkes durch kommunistische Propaganda zu zersetzen gesucht“"). Drabent and Neumann were guillotined at the Brandenburg-Görden Prison on 20 November 1944.

paragraph: Frank Hall Standish

paragraph: Frank Hall Standish (born Frank Hall, 2 October 1799 – 1840) was an English landowner and an art and book collector.

paragraph: He was born in 1799 at Darlington, County Durham to Charlotte Key and her husband Anthony Hall, the latter dying later the same year. At the age of thirteen he successfully claimed the estate of his distant cousin Sir Frank Standish, Bt., (as the great grandson of Margaret Standish, Sir Frank's aunt), which included the manor of Duxbury and Duxbury Hall near Chorley, Lancashire. He attained the right to bear his benefactor’s surname and arms, but failed in his attempts to succeed to the baronetcy which was extinguished.

paragraph: During his adult years Standish travelled extensively on the continent, spending much of his very substantial income on the purchase of art works and books. He lived chiefly in Seville. He published a number of long poems, and books of travel and topography

paragraph: Frank Hall Standish died in 1840 at Cadiz, unmarried and probably without issue, and was buried in the Standish crypt at St Laurence's, Chorley. The manor of Duxbury and the estates passed to his second cousin, William Standish Carr.

paragraph: "Piqued at the English ministry's refusal to revive the baronetcy", however, or "as a mark of respect to the French" he gave his book and art collections to the French king Louis Philippe. Until the revolution of 1848, the art works were displayed in the Standish gallery in the Louvre. Subsequently Louis Philippe reclaimed them as his private property and the whole was sold in 1852–3, the drawings, etc., in Paris and the paintings in London. The books passed to his son, Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale and formed part of the collection which he bequeathed to the Institut de France along with the Château de Chantilly. They are still held there in the Musée Condé.

paragraph: Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff

paragraph: Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff (1888–1959) was an American poet.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Born in Manhattan, Wagstaff spent much of her life in New York City. She began writing at age 7, and had sold her first poem, to "Town & Country", by age 16. In 1905 her portrait was painted by the French artist Théobald Chartran. She served for a time as the associate editor of "The International", a magazine founded by her close friend George Sylvester Viereck, whose sensual, decadent verse mirrored Wagstaff's. She praised his work, although the two had a falling out over Viereck's support of Germany in the first World War, later reconciling in 1924. Her verse often dealt with sensual and classical themes, and twelve of her poems were anthologized in T.R. Smith's 1921 erotic verse collection "Poetica Erotica". Her 1944 book for children, "The Beloved Son", was a life of Jesus in verse.

paragraph: Section::::Reception.

paragraph: H. L. Mencken praised Wagstaff's poetic drama "Alcestis" for its "constant novelty and ingenuity of epithet", though he thought at times she let "her adjectives run riot".

paragraph: Slade Cutter

paragraph: Slade Deville Cutter (November 1, 1911 – June 9, 2005) was a career U.S. naval officer who was awarded four Navy Crosses and tied for second place for Japanese ships sunk in World War II. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy as an All-American American football player.

paragraph: Section::::Naval Academy and early naval career.

paragraph: Originally intending to become a professional flutist, Cutter instead went to Severn School, at the time a prep school for aspiring Naval Academy applicants, and was noticed in their athletic program. Not only a football star, he was an intercollegiate boxing champion."An all-American football player, he achieved instant fame as a first classman when he won the 1934 Army-Navy game with a first-quarter field goal.

paragraph: On the basis of his Academy football career, he was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Cutter graduated in 1935, served on the battleship USS Idaho (BB-42), where he coached another winning football team."

paragraph: Section::::Submarine duty.

paragraph: He entered Submarine School in June 1938. By the Attack on Pearl Harbor, he had advanced to executive officer.

paragraph: Section::::Submarine duty.:First wartime assignment.

paragraph: Cutter was Executive Officer of under LCDR Lew Parks when she left Pearl Harbor on her first war patrol on 18 December 1941, just 11 days after the Japanese attack. Only two days out of Pearl Harbor, "Pompano" was sighted by a U.S. patrol plane, which attacked, and called in dive bombers from the nearby . Three additional near-misses ruptured "Pompano"s fuel tanks and left her trailing an oil slick. Parks shook off his pursuers and pressed on to confirm the presence of Japanese troops on Wake Island. "Pompano" then continued to the Marshall Islands, where she found a 16,000-ton Japanese transport at Wotje, which was attacked with four torpedoes. Parks remained off Wotje for five more days and eventually attacked a destroyer, but his first two torpedoes detonated early.

paragraph: After an inevitable depth-charge attack and with fuel draining relentlessly from the oil leak, "Pompano" returned to home base on 31 January 1942. Unfortunately, postwar analysis credited Parks with no more than possible damage to the Wotje transport.

paragraph: Cutter made two more war patrols as Executive Officer of "Pompano", operating in the vicinity of Okinawa and Honshū, respectively. The boat narrowly escaped destruction on 9 August 1942, when a Japanese depth charge unseated an engine exhaust valve, causing major flooding and driving her into the bottom near the Japanese coast. Fortunately, the crew managed to surface the boat and creep away.

paragraph: Section::::Submarine duty.:USS "Seahorse".

paragraph: After the third patrol on "Pompano", Cutter was assigned as Executive Officer in , then under construction. Initially commanded by CDR Don McGregor, "Seahorse" took a shakedown cruise, and reached the Pacific in summer 1943.

paragraph: "Seahorse"s first war patrol began on 3 August 1943. After the boat returned, Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood (Commander, Submarines, Pacific Fleet, ) relieved McGregor for not being aggressive enough. Cutter was named Commanding Officer of "Seahorse" in October 1943.

paragraph: Cutter took his new charge out of Pearl Harbor on 20 October for her second war patrol and his first as Commanding Officer. Heading for the East China Sea, he drew first blood on the 29th, 30th, and 31st, when "Seahorse" sank three trawlers with gunfire south of Japan." Subsequently, "Seahorse", working with , coincidentally assigned to the same area, attacked a large convoy detected by the day before. Surprised by the sudden evidence of "Trigger"s torpedoes, Cutter shot nine of his own and sank two freighters. Entering the East China Sea and bearing for the Korea Strait, Cutter sank two more ships, then returned to Pearl Harbor on 12 December. For this patrol, he claimed four ships (totalling 19,570 tons) sunk, not counting the trawlers. The patrol earned him his first Navy Cross.

paragraph: His next patrol left Pearl Harbor on 6 January 1944, headed for a patrol area near the Palau Islands, near the Philippines. En route, he sank an escorted freighter. Arriving in the patrol area, he received a message from , alerting him to a convoy of two freighters and three escorts, which he located visually on 21 January. He sank both freighters.

paragraph: "Seahorse" then moved to Palau and on 28 January, Cutter discovered three freighters emerging from the harbor under heavy escort. He tracked the convoy for 32 hours waiting for an opening and at 0200 on the 30th was finally able to put three torpedoes into "Toku Maru" (2,747 tons). One of these blew the stern off, and she went down directly, taking over 450 troops with her. Harassed by the escorts and accompanying aircraft, Cutter nonetheless kept "Seahorse" in trail of the remaining Japanese for another 48 hours and attempted another attack just after midnight on 1 February. Eight torpedoes missed. Under heavy pressure from an escort, he shot two last torpedoes from his stern tubes just before going deep. Amid the ensuing depth charge attack, Cutter's men heard both torpedoes hit and the now-familiar sound of exploding gasoline drums. Indeed, it was later confirmed that they had sunk the Japanese steamer "Toei Maru" (4,004 tons). After this 80-hour chase – nearly a record, "Seahorse" returned to Pearl Harbor on 16 February with another five ships and 13,716 tons to her credit. The patrol earned Cutter a second Navy Cross.

paragraph: "Seahorse"s fourth war patrol took her to the Mariana Islands, specifically to prevent the Japanese from reinforcing Guam and Saipan. She departed Pearl Harbor on 16 March 1944, and near Guam on 8 April came across a Japanese supply convoy, damaging two vessels that subsequently sank. "Seahorse" moved on, and the very next day found a 15-20 ship convoy that had already been attacked by " Trigger" as it neared Saipan, sinking another cargo ship.

paragraph: On lifeguard (aircrew rescue) duty in support of carrier air strikes on Saipan, "Seahorse" next sighted and sank the Japanese submarine "I-174", one of the few submarine attacks on another submarine in World War Two. A week later, "Seahorse" found another convoy 45 miles west of Saipan and sank another freighter, refueling in New Guinea returning to Brisbane, Australia, on the 11th. The patrol earned Cutter a third Navy Cross.

paragraph: Accompanying the U.S. invasion of the Marianas in mid-June 1944, Lockwood sent more than a dozen submarines westward to interdict possible Japanese reinforcements. "Seahorse" departed Brisbane on 3 June for her fifth war patrol and took station with in the Surigao Strait between Mindanao and Leyte 13 June. "Seahorse" greatest contribution to the Battle of the Philippine Sea was locating a Japanese battle group centered around the Japanese battleships "Yamato" and ""Musashi". In 1997, Cutter told a reporter the task force was too distant to catch, but he sent a routine contact report.

paragraph: After the battle, "Seahorse" joined a wolfpack in the Luzon Strait, and sank five more ships. Cutter was awarded a fourth Navy Cross for the patrol.

paragraph: Section::::Submarine duty.:Assigned to new construction.

paragraph: After "Seahorse"s fourth patrol and a rest leave, Cutter was assigned as Commanding Officer of the new-construction . His wife, Fran, sponsored the ship when she commissioned on 28 April 1945. "Requin" left Portsmouth for the Pacific theater in early June and arrived at Pearl Harbor at the end of July, but the war ended shortly after she departed on her first war patrol.

paragraph: Section::::World War II summary.

paragraph: Section::::World War II summary.:Command style.

paragraph: His biographer, Carl Lavo, described Cutter as having an abrasive style with superior officers, which may well have cost him selection for promotion to rear admiral. Especially controversial was his effective challenge to Adm. Hyman Rickover, claiming the first nuclear submarine, , was "strictly a test vehicle. I doubt if she will ever fire a shot in anger."

paragraph: Section::::Postwar naval service.

paragraph: Postwar, Cutter attained the rank of captain and subsequently commanded the oiler and the heavy cruiser while she was flagship of the United States Second Fleet.

paragraph: Cutter was named athletic director at the Naval Academy in the late 1950s, in an effort to encourage popular football coach Eddie Erdelatz to resign. Lavo said Erdelatz was running a "professional-style football program" but too few players were opting to remain in the Navy after graduation because of his reputed disparaging of the service. Capt. Cutter's knowledge of the sports program and his feeling Erdelatz was "disloyal to the Navy" led to Erdelatz's departure. Much of the task was helped by Capt. Cutter's stature as an athletic and wartime hero." His final active-duty assignment, in 1965, was as head of the Naval Historical Display Center in Washington.

paragraph: Section::::Retirement and death.

paragraph: Cutter retired from active duty in 1965 and was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1967. He later became headmaster of a boys' school in Tucson, where he moved to care for his first wife's asthma condition. Frances Leffler Cutter died in 1981. After her death, he moved back to Annapolis. In 1982, he married Ruth McCracken Buek.

paragraph: Cutter died June 9, 2005, at Ginger Cove retirement community in Annapolis at age 93. He had Parkinson's disease. Survivors include his wife of 23 years, Ruth McCracken Buek Cutter of Annapolis; two children from the first marriage, Slade D. Cutter Jr. of Austin and Anne McCarthy of Santa Fe, N.M.; three stepchildren, Scott Buek of Delran, N.J., Harvey Buek of Conshohocken, Pa., and Pamela Sullivan of Sparks, Nev.; a sister; nine grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren, including Mackenzie Williams, a Jefferson Scholar at the University of Virginia.

paragraph: Section::::Memorials.

paragraph: A 40-acre athletic field in Hampton Roads, Virginia was dedicated as the "Captain Slade Cutter Athletic Park" on 14 October 2011. Ruth Cutter (widow) was in attendance to hear the dedication remarks: "They say the name makes a man—and what a name. Slade Cutter—he was destined for greatness."

paragraph: Gertrud Bodenwieser

paragraph: Gertrud Bodenwieser (3 February 1890 – 10 November 1959), also known as "Gertrude", was a dancer, choreographer, dance teacher and pioneer of expressive dance.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: The daughter of Theodore and Maria Bondi, a wealthy Jewish couple, she turned to dance under the pseudonym Gertrud Bodenwieser of which she was celebrated in Vienna as a sensation. Bodenwieser's style was based on classical ballet of which she was originally taught by Carl Godlewski from 1905 to 1910; she had a new style of dance that was welcomed by the audience, critics and young students with much enthusiasm. She was inspired by the works of Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis. One of her greatest successes was "Demon Machine", a dance performance, in which a group of dancers turned into machines.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Bodenwieser was appointed professor of dance at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna. In the concert hall's basement she ran her own dance studio. Her pupils went out on tours throughout Europe as "Tanzgruppe Bodenwieser" ("Bodenwieser dance group"). Among her students who went on to pursue their own careers were names such as Vilma Degischer, Trudl Dubsky, Shona Dunlop MacTavish, Gisa Geert, Grete Gross, Erika Hanka, Hilde Holger, Evelyn Ippen, Susi Jeans, Gertrud Kraus, Maria Palmer, Lisl Rinaldini, Emmy Towsey, Peggy van Praagh, Bettina Vernon and Cilli Wang.

paragraph: Bodenwieser and many of her dancers were Jewish and in 1938, when the Nazis invaded Austria, the ballet was forced to leave Europe. Bodenwieser fled with a handful of students to Colombia, where she gave a guest performance as part of the 400 year celebration of Bogotá. She was even able to fill a bullfight arena with enthusiastic spectators. Her 1944 dance, "The Masks of Lucifer", showed intrigue, terror and hatred as personifications of political totalitarianism and became famous as the embodiment during an ominous time.

paragraph: Emigration led Bodenwieser to Australia where she lived the rest of her life. In Sydney, she taught dance and founded the Bodenwieser Ballet (1939-1959), which was described as "the first truly influential modern dance company in Australia". Bodenwieser's teaching produced some of the most important dancers, choreographers, and artists of Australia, including Anita Ardell, Keith Bain, Margaret Chapple, Coralie Hinkley, Ena Noël, and Eileen Kramer. One student from the days of Vienna, Dunlop MacTavish, continued to dance with the company and also taught ballet in local Sydney schools, including Abottsleigh Girls' School. The company toured both urban and rural Australia, and also toured France, New Zealand (1950), South Africa (1950) and India (1952), before folding with the death of its founder.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Bodenwieser was married in 1920 to the Viennese director and playwright Friedrich Rosenthal, who died in 1942 in Auschwitz concentration camp. She died suddenly on 10 November 1959.

paragraph: Charley Zivic

paragraph: Charley Zivic (January 31, 1925 – November 27, 1984) was a Lebanese American professional boxer from 1944 through 1951, with 42 wins, 13 losses, and 4 draws. Notably, he fought through his entire career with a metal plate in his right arm – limiting his range of motion to 5 to 7 inches – an injury he sustained when, as a ten-year-old boy, he dove off a two-story shanty roof in his Lower Hill District neighborhood - and a dead or dying right kidney.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In April 1950, at Duquesne Gardens in Pittsburgh, Zivic was ahead in a fight with Laurent Dauthuille, in the elimination bout for a title shot with Jake LaMotta. After getting knocked down in the ninth round, Zivic was on his feet taking the mandatory standing eight count, when Dauthuille moved out of his neutral corner and pounced on him for the kill at 1:15.

paragraph: Zivic went into the ring four more times after this loss, winning two and losing two, his last loss to Gene Hairston. He'd signed to meet Bobby Dykes and was back in training at the Pittsburgh Lyceum, when he complained of an unusual weariness. He was taken to the nearby Mercy Hospital where X-rays revealed that he had a dead right kidney that dated back to 1944, the same year that he began his boxing career. Doctors explained it as not a boxing injury at all, but an old football injury from his years as a semi-professional running back.

paragraph: Section::::Career.:Ownership and Name Change.

paragraph: For the first part of Zivic career he was owned and managed by fellow Pittsburgher and ex-Welterweight Champion of the World, Fritzie Zivic, who was not only still active in the ring himself, but also owned a growing stable of other professional prizefighters. When Fritzie lacked the adequate time to devote to Zivic's career, he sold his contract to Billy Sarkis and Hymie Schwartz, also of Pittsburgh.

paragraph: Michael V. Lane (January 6, 1933 – June 1, 2015) was an American actor and professional wrestler.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lane's formidable size (height 6'8" or 2.03 m, weight 275 lbs or 125 kg) led him to work in the King Bros. Circus boxing tent and wrestling tent where he would take on all comers. He also wrestled professionally under the name "Tarzan Mike" in 1952–1959. While filming "The Harder They Fall", Lane was given dramatic and boxing lessons to appear as the giant Toro Moreno, an outclassed boxer based on Primo Carnera.

Lane also had a regular role as Frank N. Stein in "Monster Squad". On November 25, 1958, in the episode "The Hunted" of the ABC/Warner Brothers western series "Sugarfoot", starring Will Hutchins in the title role, Lane plays a former soldier, John Allman, who has become mentally unbalanced as a result of the terror of an Apache attack on his United States Army unit. Despite the efforts of a sympathetic Sugarfoot, Allman engages in bank robbery and murder and is tracked down by an impatient posse led by Clay Calhoun (R.G. Armstrong).

paragraph: F. Percy Smith

paragraph: Frank Percy Smith (12 January 1880–24 March 1945) was a British naturalist and early nature documentary pioneer working for Charles Urban, where he pioneered the use of time-lapse and microcinematography.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Known as Percy Smith, he was the son of Francis David Smith (1854-1918) and Ada (née Blaker - born 1856). In 1907 he married Kate Louise Ustonson (1881-1959). He began to photograph the natural world around him while working as a clerk for the British Board of Education, but found his desire to exploit the educational possibilities of film stifled until his close-up photograph of a bluebottle's tongue caught the attention of film producer Charles Urban. Smith subsequently made "To Demonstrate How Spiders Fly" (1909) and "The Acrobatic Fly" (1910) before joining the Charles Urban Trading Company full-time. He directed over fifty nature films for the "Urban Sciences" series, including the pioneering stop-motion film "The Birth of a Flower" (1910), prior to the outbreak of the First World War.

paragraph: During the First World War from 1916 to 1918 Smith served in the Royal Navy as a naval photographer, shooting aerial views of battlefields for British forces, and made a series of films depicting battles through animated maps, including "Fight for the Dardanelles" (1915).

paragraph: After the war he went to work for British Instructional Films on the "Secrets of Nature" series starting in 1922 and made the comedy film "The Bedtime Stories of Archie the Ant" (1925). He continued to work for BIF into the 30s on the retitled "Secrets of Life" series, handing the direction of films including "Magic Myxies" and "The World in a Wine-Glass" (1931) over to his colleagues Mary Field and H.R Hewer, while he concentrated on the photography.

paragraph: He died at his home in Southgate, London, on 24 March 1945. His death was recorded as suicide by coal gas poisoning and was front page news in British tabloids. In his will he left £3203 2s 6d.

paragraph: A selection of his films has been made available on DVD by the British Film Institute on the release.

paragraph: A BBC documentary charting the work of Smith and attempting to recreate his "The Acrobatic Fly" was screened in 2013.

paragraph: Chand Usmani

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Chandbibi Khanam Usmani was born in 1933 in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, into a Pashtun family. She married Mukul Dutt (director of "Aan Milo Sajna"), with whom she had a son, Roshan. She ran a halfway house at her home in Mahim for runaway girls who had come to Mumbai seeking a career in films. She died in Mumbai on 26 November 1989.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Chand Usmani came to notice by participating in a talent contest called 'Kardar-Kolynos-Teresa Contest' in 1949, winning second place. In 1953, she debuted as the heroine in "Jeewan Jyoti" opposite Shammi Kapoor (his debut too). She also starred in "Barati", "Baap Re Baap" and "Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan", and had major roles in several other films, including "Rangeen Raten", "Naya Daur", "Prem Patra" and "Pehchan". br

paragraph: She received much critical acclaim: a review of "Rangeen Raten" (1956) said that she "gives a brilliant performance; hers is also the best developed character, and as a result she becomes the life and soul of the film." In "Baap Re Baap", a key scene is noted for "the joy exhibited by Usmani on screen". The Film Heritage Foundation of India describes her as the "effervescent Chand Usmani, with her heart-warming smile". She won a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1971, for her portrayal of the character Champa, a prostitute, in the 1970 film "Pehchan". Writing nearly 40 years later, "The Hindu"'s film reviewer considered that "Chand Usmani does justice to Champa’s role displaying restraint, poise and grace in a role which provided ample opportunity to easily go over the top." Despite having a long career, she said in an interview with Tabassum that she regretted not having an agent/manager, which led to her not getting diverse roles and not having more success. In many of her roles, she played a self-sacrificing wife, mother, girlfriend or sister, as summed up by Mahasweta Devi in her 1986 short story 'The Wet-Nurse':br

paragraph: Elizabeth Bacon (died 1621)

paragraph: Elizabeth Bacon (c. 1541 – 3 May 1621) was an English aristocrat. She is presumed to have been the Lady Neville of "My Ladye Nevells Booke", an important manuscript of keyboard music by William Byrd, which was compiled in 1591. She was the daughter of Queen Elizabeth's Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Sir Nicholas Bacon, by his first wife, Jane Ferneley (d. 1552). She was, successively, the wife of Sir Robert Doyley, the courtier Sir Henry Neville, and the judge Sir William Peryam.

paragraph: Section::::Family.

paragraph: Born about 1541, she was the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth's Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, Sir Nicholas Bacon, by his first wife, Jane Ferneley (d.1552). By her father's first marriage, she had three brothers, Sir Nicholas Bacon, 1st Baronet, of Redgrave, Sir Edward Bacon, and Sir Nathaniel Bacon, and two sisters, Anne, who married Sir Henry Woodhouse, and Elizabeth, who married Francis Wyndham. By her father's second marriage, to Anne Cooke, she was the half sister of Anthony Bacon and Sir Francis Bacon.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: It was initially proposed that she should marry her father's ward, William Yaxley, but the marriage negotiations fell through, and by 18 July 1569 Yaxley was married to someone else, and Elizabeth Bacon married Sir Robert Doyley of Chiselhampton, Oxfordshire, 'a member of a prominent land-owning family' and a member of parliament for Bossiney, Cornwall, in 1572. He was knighted in 1576. While serving as a Justice of the Peace at the Oxford assizes of 4–7 July 1577, Doyley and others were, according to John Stowe, infected with a 'strange sickness', whereof the jurors, including 'Sir Robert de Olie', died. Doyley made his last will on 21 July, and was buried on 29 July at Hambleden. In his will he left several properties to his widow, Elizabeth, according to Harley likely making her 'an independently wealthy woman'. There were no children of the marriage.

paragraph: Soon after her first husband's death, in about May 1578, Elizabeth Bacon married, as his third wife, Sir Henry Neville, of Billingbear House, Berkshire. As Sir Henry's wife she became the "Lady Nevell" of "My Ladye Nevells Booke", a manuscript of keyboard music by William Byrd. However, over time her link to the book was forgotten, and it was firmly established ony recently by John Harley, following earlier suggestions by Thurston Dart and Alan Brown. Some people have assumed she must have been a keyboard player, but not much is known of her musical activities. Her interest in music is also implied by the dedication to her of a second music book, discussed below.

paragraph: Letters written by Neville and his third wife during their marriage indicate that they lived at both Billingbear House and at Sir Robert Doyley's former house at Greenlands, and that they also had a home in London. A contemporary inventory of Billingbear survives, mentioning a long gallery, great hall, armoury, and other rooms, including 'Lady Gresham's Chamber', a chamber likely occupied by Frances Gresham, the mother of Neville's second wife, Elizabeth Gresham.

paragraph: According to Harley, in a letter to his brother-in-law, Sir Nathaniel Bacon, in early 1590 Neville referred to his third wife as 'Betty', and stated that she wore 'the bryches' in the household. Neville made his will on 20 April 1592, and died on 13 January 1593. He was buried in the church of Waltham St Lawrence, where there is a monument to his memory. There were no children of the marriage, and Neville's third wife is not mentioned in his will.

paragraph: Before the end of September 1595, Elizabeth Bacon married, as her third husband and as his third wife, Sir William Peryam, Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Also in 1595 a published music book was dedicated to her as 'Lady Periam': Thomas Morley's "The First Booke of Canzonets to Two Voyces". In his dedication Morley stated that his wife had been in her service.

paragraph: Sir William died at Little Fulford, Devonshire, on 9 October 1604, and Elizabeth was granted administration of his will. There were no children of the marriage.

paragraph: In 1609 Elizabeth Bacon founded a charity school at Henley-on-Thames.

paragraph: Elizabeth Bacon made her last will on 12 November 1618, terming herself 'Dame Elizabeth Periam of Greenland', and providing for scholarships or fellowships at Oxford. She died 3 May 1621. There is a monument to her in the church of St Mary's, Henley-on-Thames.

paragraph: A number of Elizabeth Bacon's letters survive, including both family correspondence and business letters dealing with the administration of her properties.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages.

paragraph: Elizabeth Bacon married firstly, Sir Robert Doyley (d. July 1577) of Chislehampton, Oxfordshire, and Greenlands in Hambleden, Buckinghamshire.

paragraph: She married secondly, about May 1578, as his third wife, Sir Henry Neville of Billingbear House, Berkshire. Neville had been married firstly to Winifred Losse (d. in or before 1561), daughter of Hugh Losse (d.1555) of Whitchurch, London, by whom he had no issue, and secondly, by 1561, to Elizabeth Gresham (d. 6 or 7 November 1573), granddaughter of Sir Richard Gresham, Lord Mayor of London, and only daughter and heir of the latter's elder son, John Gresham (d.1560), by Frances Thwaytes, the daughter and coheir of Sir Henry Thwaytes of Lund, Yorkshire. In the will of their grandmother, Frances (née Thwaytes) Gresham, dated 20 October 1580 and proved 9 November 1580, Neville's children by his second marriage are named as Henry, Edward, Francis, William, and Katherine. Katherine married Edmund Doyley of Shottisham, Norfolk.

paragraph: After Neville's death, she married, before the end of September 1595, Sir William Peryam (d. 9 October 1604). Elizabeth Bacon had no issue by any of her marriages.
