Francis Bacon is the son of Queen Elizabeth the First -'The Virgin Queen'

The Family Tree below is from 'The Great Vision' by Peter Dawkins , Director of The Francis Bacon Research trust and Published in 1985.

‘To keep up the delusion that she was inclined to enter the marriage market, she (Queen Elizabeth)openly flirted with Royal lovers by day and enjoyed the joke with Dudley in secret by night. After three years intimacy the Queen discovered that she was pregnant. In September 1560, the Queen, being about five months off her confinement, was desperate, as Dudley's wife was still alive, and If the Queen were to have a bastard son, there would have been a Roman Catholic reaction and even the Protestants would have declared for Mary of Scotland.

A little later, on the 8th September,Lord Robert Dudley's wife was found mysteriously dead at the bottom of the staircase of Connor Hall. Shortly afterwards, on the 12th  of September they were privately married at Brooke House, which belonged to the Earl of Pembroke, Sir Nicholas and Lady Bacon being witnesses. This legitimatized the offspring.

Three months later, on 22nd January, 1560-1, a boy was born at Wolsley NewPalace, Whitehall (York Palace ??? 44.1). He was taken charge of by a personal friend of the Queen, Lady Bacon, wife to Sir Nicholas Bacon, Keeper of the Great Seal.

Correspondence shows that the birth was known to Lord Burghley, Secretary of State, and to the Queen’s Ambassador Throckmorton at Paris. But the secret was well kept. The Courts were full of rumours but everything was concealed.’
