The 16th century playwright Christopher Marlowe, member of Queen Elizabeth's Secret Service, speaking:

"Anyway, afterwards they will declare that it was Kit Marlowe who injured Frizer first with a dagger and that Frizer then stabbed the playwright just above the right eye.

The wound was five inches deep. My agony was terrible. “He died vomiting and screaming like a pig,” they said. “He died uttering the most blasphemous curses.”

The next morning, Ingram Frizer is arrested by the royal coroner. A jury of sixteen members interrogates the eyewitnesses. The verdict comes quickly: Frizer has acted in self-defense.

Of course. It was all planned like this."
