Born the son of a shoe-maker two months before the birth of another
famous playwright,
William Shakespeare,
Christopher Marlowe achieved fame as an Elizabethan dramatist as well
as an atheist. He was killed in a tavern brawl by a former friend,
allegedly over a bill. There is now some evidence that suggests his
death was in fact an assassination.
