Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (1550–1604) was an Elizabethan courtier, playwright, lyric poet, sportsman, soldier, and patron of the arts. He was a ward of the Queen Elizabeth after his father died. His patronage of the arts was so widespread and consistant that over 20 books were dedicated to him. In the 1920s, de Vere was suggested as the possible "true" author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare, although most scholars do not agree.
