This work of scholarship posits that the secret society of the Freemasons aided the concealment of Marlowe's identity as Shakespeare after his escape from the clutches of the dreaded Court of the Star Chamber, who were unjustly persecuting him as an "atheist". They brought him to trial after extracting "evidence" by torture, probably ending in his death at the stake as a heretic. Three hisotrical facts are established by this research. "The First Folio" was a Masonic publication supervised by Francis Bacon, the Masonic Solomon, and dedicated to the Grant Master, the Earl of Pembroke and his brother, the Earl of Montgomery, "the incomparable pair of brethren", who were also the "brethren" in the Masonic sense. The Masons erected the Monument to William Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon to link the actor with the concealed, pseudonymous author of "The First Folio" as a deliberate protective device. This original monument was completely re-vamped in the 18th century by ardent Bardolators under the pretence of "repairing" and "beautifying" it to make it look like the Droeshout engraving, adding a quill pen and paper to depict him as a writer. The Masonic "Legend of Hiram" holds the key to the mystery. It commemorates the murder of Hiram, the Master-Builder, who was the Masonic identity of the pseudonymous William Shakespeare, alias Christopher Marlowe. The clue to this, left by Bacon in a manuscript, has now been deciphered as is revealed in the book's many graphs.
