"Francis Bacon, son of the Lord Keeper of the Seal, one of the most promising, gifted young men at the court of Queen Elizabeth, was heir by birth and by disposition to a central spot in the Queen's service. Yet upon his father's death he was to find himself in relation to the Queen very like a supplicant, forever "next the door." There he was to remain, his political hopes fanned with half promises for 27 interminable years. His forthrightness had offended the Queen; thus, his suits to serve the state were refused or passed over. He was to hear himself described as that man who "spangled his speech with unusual words" and made to observe the rise of men of lower birth. Such a man was Sir Edward Coke, his antagonist in the courts and in private (they had both sought the same woman for wife), into whose "lap the prizes showered." It was not until the accession of James I that Bacon was to step in front of Coke and receive the appointment of Lord Chancellor." And the story continues......
