Susan Baskervile

[1] Her second husband was the famous clown Thomas Greene, who performed with Queen Anne's Men and who died young in August 1612.[2] Thomas Greene's last will and testament, dated 25 July 1612, left his share in Queen Anne's Men, worth 80 pounds, to his wife.The company quickly fell behind in its payments; in 1616 the troupe raised the Baskervile pension to 3 s. 8 d., in return for another investment of £38.The Queen's Men still could not meet their payments to Susan Baskervile, and also failed to pay her son William who was acting with them.[4] The long and complex lawsuit, generally called the Baskervile or Worth/Baskervile suit, solicited depositions from most members of the company, generating a documentary record that is valuable for scholars of English Renaissance drama.
