簽名

1593年5月18日,英國政府下令通緝馬洛,但卻並沒有列出任何理由。同月20日,馬洛於被帶到英國樞密院前接受審訊,其後需要每天向他們報到。10天後,馬洛與Ingram Frizer等人爭執期間,被Ingram Frizer用匕首刺死。到了現在,仍沒有人知道他的死與樞密院的審問有沒有關連。[3]

生平

早年

馬羅在英格蘭東南部的坎特伯雷出生,父親John Marlowe為造鞋匠,母親名Catherine。[4]馬羅的出生日期不詳,但因為當時嬰兒在出生後必須受洗,而馬羅的領洗日期為1564年2月26日,所以假定他於1564年2月中出生。

馬羅中學畢業於国王公学,其後拿獎學金進入劍橋大學基督聖體學院就讀,於1584年畢業[5]
