This first group included Babington, Ballard, Chidiock Tichborne, Sir Thomas Salisbury, Robert Barnewell, John Savage and Henry Donn.

Chidiock ( Charles ) Tichborne ( 1563 – 20 September 1586 ) is remembered as an English conspirator and poet.

Chidiock descended from Sir Roger de Tichborne who owned land at Tichborne, near Winchester, in the twelfth century.

Chidiock Tichborne was never called Charles-this is an error that has grown from a misprint in the AQA GCSE English Literature syllabus which has included the Elegy in its early poetry section for several years.
