Christopher Marlowe

Christopher Marlowe appears in 692. Elizabeth I vs The Catholics: A Massacre in Paris (Part 2) through his 1593 play about the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. The episode uses the play as an opening signal that the massacre became part of English Protestant memory long after the Paris violence itself.

For the wiki, Marlowe is not yet a literary biography node. His role here is narrower: he shows how atrocity memory could be dramatized inside England and converted into confessional trauma memory before later Elizabethan politics hardened around Francis Walsingham, William Cecil / Lord Burleigh, and anti-Catholic security practice.
