I'm curious what 'Fire Over England ' has to do with Francis Walsingham. There seems to be a spying theme, but no link to Francis in particular.
[edit] The last bit about fiction
I'm also curious as to why the last bit was written. It seems to have been written solely to take a jab at the movie Elizabeth without offering any insight as to why the character of Walsingham was not portrayed accurately. I would think that this portion of the article could easily be removed without harming the otherwise informative writeup.

Also, wasn't Walsingham portrayed in that HBO movie made in 2006?
[edit] Date of birth?
Sir Francis Walsingham (c. 1530 – April 6, 1590) is remembered by history as…
Francis Walsingham was born in Scadbury Park, Chislehurst, Kent in about 1532
Which is it? 1530 or 1532? Yes, I realize they're both hedged as "circa" or "about," but the article should be consistent one way or the other. Which is the more likely birth date? --Dodiad 06:26 29 Jul 2006 (UTC)
