Thomas Drury (1551–1603)
Thomas Drury (8 May 1551 – 26 August 1603), government informer, messenger and swindler, is noted for having been one of the main people responsible for accusations of heresy, blasphemy and seditious atheism on the part of the Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe given to the Privy Council in May 1593. Within a couple of weeks, Marlowe—at just 29 the same age as William Shakespeare, but one of the single greatest influences〔The International Marlowe-Shakespeare Society has a relevant (selection of quotations ) on its website.〕 upon his work—was reported dead.
==Early life==
Thomas Drury was born to Robert Drury of Hawstead, Suffolk, and his wife Audrey, née Rich, the daughter of the former Lord Chancellor, Richard Rich, notorious for his alleged perjury which led to the conviction and execution of Sir Thomas More. He was the third of four brothers—William, Robert, Thomas himself, and Henry. They were also first cousins to the Robert Rich who married the Earl of Essex's sister Penelope, the "Stella" immortalized in Sir Philip Sidney's ''Astrophel and Stella''.
Thomas's father died when he was only six, so his paternal grandfather, Sir William Drury, left 'in reversion'—in other words not to be inherited until they were 21—a third share each of Lincolnshire property to Robert, Thomas and Henry, with the eldest son William getting everything else including the London property Drury House, after which Drury Lane was named. The youngest son, Henry, died in 1561 aged 10.
In 1564, Thomas went up to Cambridge as a gentleman pensioner at Caius College, although there is no record of his obtaining a degree, possibly because he was a Catholic, like most of his family, and would therefore not take the required (Protestant) oath.
