Whatever the situation, the Privy Council issued an arrest warrant for Marlowe on May 18, 1593; two days later, the poet was commanded to provide daily attendance to their lordships "until he should be permitted to the contrary." On May 30, however, Marlowe was murdered by Ingram Frizer while in the company of Nicholas... Marlowe was killed at a tavern in Southwark called the Boar's Head. This was not a royal tavern, but it did have privileges as a hostlery to The Crown. Marlowe was probably drinking with some of his friends when Frizer entered the room they were in and shot him several times, killing him instantly. The murderer then fled the scene after stealing some of Marlowe's possessions including a gold ring that he later sold. He was never arrested for his crime. Marlowe was buried on June 3 at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. His grave can still be seen in the north wall of the choir. Marlowe was only 46 years old when he died. He had been working on various projects during his last months including a play entitled "Doctor Faustus". It is unknown if this work was ever completed or published. Marlowe was a great English poet who wrote about politics, love, and life in early 16th-century England.
