EspañolROGER MANNERS, 5TH EARL OF RUTLAND
'Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland' (6 October 1576 – 26 June 1612) was the son of John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland.
He married Elizabeth Sidney (daughter of Sir Philip Sidney and step-daughter of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex), on 5 March 1599.
He died in 1612, aged 35 and his titles passed to his brother, Francis Manners.
He was a student at Oxford and Cambridge, Gray's Inn, and University of Padua, Italy. He travelled across Europe, took part in military campaigns led by Essex, and was a participant of Essex's rebellion against Queen Elizabeth I. He was favoured by James I, and honoured by his contemporaries as a man of great intelligence and talent. He enjoyed the friendship of some of the most prominent writers and artists of the Elizabethan-Jacobean age.
Evidence indicates that the Earl was a patron of Inigo Jones and probably introduced Jones to the Court of James I and Anne of Denmark, where Jones had his impact as both an architect and a designer of Court masques.[1]
Roger Manners (and his wife Elizabeth Sidney) are believed by some to be candidates for the author of Shakespeare's literary work in the Shakespearean authorship question. Evidence to support this hypothesis is presented in ''The Shakespeare Game: The Mystery of the Great Phoenix'' by Ilya Gililov.[2]
