b. Christopher Marlowe--worked for Queen Elizabeth as a spy and after making bail for an arrest ended up in a bar fight and killed in 1593.

Marlowe worked with Queen Elizabeth who was known to get Marlowe out of trouble at times. Eventually Marlowe was arrested for having treasonous papers and while on bail he was killed in a bar fight. He died at the age of 29, but had wrote a handful of plays before his death.
