    Christopher Marlowe was born in 1564 in Canterbury, England to parents John and Catherine Marlowe. He received his early education at King's School before attending Corpus Christi College at Cambridge University, where he obtained his bachelor's degree in 1584 with the intention of becoming an Anglican priest. Though the university hesitated to grant Marlowe his master's degree in 1587 due to doubts about his frequent absences and possible conversion to Catholicism, he ultimately received the degree after the Privy Council intervened stating he had been engaged in Queen Elizabeth I's service.

    CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE

    Marlowe, the second and eldest son of John and Catherine Marlowe, was born on Feb
    26,1564(baptized), in Canterbury. Father- a shoe-maker, early education at King’s School (entered Jan
    14,1579), a year later, went to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge obtaining his bachelor degree of arts in
    1584, intending to take Anglican orders. In 1587, the University hesitated to give him master’s degree.
    Its doubts (perhaps arising from his frequent absences, or speculations that perhaps he had converted
    to Roman Catholicism, and would soon attend college elsewhere) were apparently set at rest or
    dismissed when the Privy council sent a letter declaring that Marlowe had been engaged in Elizabeth I’s
    service, and was awarded his master’s degree on schedule.
