Is Shakspeare a fraud?

Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford
(April 12, 1550–June 24, 1604)

Edward was an Elizabethan courtier, playwright, poet, sportsman, patron of many writers, and he was a sponsor for two acting companies called Oxford’s Men, and Oxford’s Boys. He was born at Castle Hedingham to the 16th Earl of Oxford. Oxford is really famous today as the strongest candidate for the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays. Some people think that Edward was the author of Shakespeare because he had advanced education, knowledge of aristocratic life, the military and the law, background in the theatre, the praise accorded Oxford's works, and numerous similarities between Oxford's life and the plays. So, there could be a possibility that Edward wrote Shakespeare's plays.
