http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Spenser

<<Edmund Spenser (1553 - 13 January 1599) served under Arthur Grey, 14th Baron Grey de Wilton with Walter Raleigh at the Siege of Smerwick massacre (October 1580). Spenser stayed on in Ireland {i.e., ÉIRE}, having acquired other official posts & lands in the Munster Plantation. Around 1588 Spenser acquired his main estate at Kilcolman in North Cork. He later bought a second holding to the south on a rock overlooking the river Blackwater near a tree, known locally as "Spenser's Oak;" legend has it that he penned some of The Faerie Queene under this tree. In 1590, Spenser travelled to London to publish the first three books of The Faerie Queene. He was successful enough to obtain a life pension of £50 a year from the Queen. His next significant publication boldly antagonised Lord Burghley (William Cecil), through its inclusion of the satirical Mother Hubberd's Tale. He returned to {ÉIRE}.>>

<<Odin hung upon the branches of Yggdrasil, the sacred Tree.
For *nine days* and nine nights he suffered.
Self wounded by his spear, sacrificed by his hand, an
offering unto himself. In agony and torment he stared into
the bottomless depths of Niflheim, searching the dark pool in
silence. Finally, with great effort, he reached down before
him. His hand was chilled to the bone in the ice cold waters.
With a cry of triumph he grasped the knowledge he sought

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Dudley,_1st_Earl_of_Leicester

<<(R)obert Dudley, 1st (E)arl of (L)eicester (24 June 1532 – 4 Sept. 1588)
was an English nobleman and the favourite and close friend of (ER)
Elizabeth Regina's, from her first year on the throne until his death.

From 1561 (REL) advocated and supported the HUGUEnot cause, and the French
ambassador described him as "totally of the Calvinist religion" in 1568.
After the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572 this trait in him became
more pronounced, and he continued as the chief patron of English Puritans.

Since Dudley died without heirs, the title became extinct at his death.
The title was again created in 1618 for Robert Sidney, his nephew.
Along with the earldom Robert Sidney was granted
the subsidiary title of Viscount Lisle on 4 May 1605.>>

(REL) was a patron of the arts and an interesting poet.
His mother, Mary Sidney, was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth I
and a sister of (R)obert Dudley, 1st (E)arl of (L)eicester.
His brothers were the First Folio's "Incomparable Pair.">>

<<The ERIE people (also ERIEehronon, ERIEchronon, ERIElhonan, ERIEz, Nation du Chat) were a Native American people historically living on the south shore of Lake ERIE. They were destroyed in the mid-17th century by five years of prolonged warfare with the neighboring Iroquois, especially the Seneca, for helping the Huron in the Beaver Wars for control of the fur trade."

The names ERIE and ERIEz are shortened forms of ERIElhonan, meaning "long *TAIL*". The ERIElhonan were also called the Chat ("Cat" in French) or "Raccoon" people, referring to that characteristic. It appears that the cat reference may be to depict a connection to the sacred Underwater Panther, who was believed to have lived in the Great Lakes.>>
