Another account states, that on May 30, 1593, Marlowe and a couple of his acquaintances, Ingram Frizer, Nicholas Keres and Robert Poley in Deptford, London, went to a lodging house for some drinks. Enjoying the day, passing the time together, and dining in, it was finally time to pay, and an argument started. Witnesses claim that Marlowe pulled out Ingram Frizer's knife. With a brutal brawl, Frizer grabbed hold of his knife, claimed it was self-defense, and stabbed the knife into Marlowe's head, piercing his brain, and instantly dying. Other's claim this entire story was false, and that Queen Elizabeth I, ordered an assassination. After much vocal emphasis on Marlowe's part about his belief in atheism and his way with words trying to convince others to see his side, the Queen gave orders to shut Christopher up. Four weeks after this request from the Queen, Marlowe was dead, but Queen Elizabeth I wasn't the only person who wanted Marlowe dead. There was Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Robert Cecil, and Audrey Walsingham, all for their own specific reasoning. Then there were the people who believed that Marlowe faked his own death and fled the country to avoid his pending investigation. He continued to write, but he had to play the part of not being alive, and the man to take the credit for the writing was William Shakespeare.
