Walter Strawberry was a London constable. He indiscriminately served under the Catholic, Spanish-backed Queen Isabella and the Protestant, natively English Queen Elizabeth. Strawberry investigated William Shakespeare for the Spaniards, and was presented with a fair amount of evidence that Shakespeare and Lord Westmorland's Men were writing the seditious play Boudicca. However, the unintelligent Strawberry was easily misled by Shakespeare and his co-conspirators, and he never even suspected what they were doing.

abstract
  • Walter Strawberry was a London constable. He indiscriminately served under the Catholic, Spanish-backed Queen Isabella and the Protestant, natively English Queen Elizabeth. Strawberry investigated William Shakespeare for the Spaniards, and was presented with a fair amount of evidence that Shakespeare and Lord Westmorland's Men were writing the seditious play Boudicca. However, the unintelligent Strawberry was easily misled by Shakespeare and his co-conspirators, and he never even suspected what they were doing. His fluency in the English language was no better than his competence at law enforcement, and Strawberry's speech was peppered with a number of malapropisms, much to the bafflement and bemusement of the professional wordsmiths (including Lope de Vega, who was not a native English speaker) with whom he frequently dealt.
