It is certainly not “widely accepted that Nashe was killed by one of his associates in the house of Eleanor Bull”. That was Marlowe. You have the two men confused.

Much has been written about the band of brothers that he associated with and their suspected secret agent roles.

An inquest was held and a record of it exists and has been the subject of several recent publications.

Some have suggested that he and Marlowe faked their deaths and secretly wrote under other names. Nashe had been officially banned for making further publications so he had a motive. If he died in Yarmouth that’s news to me.
My family are Nashe and we come from Norfolk not far from Thetford where Thomas grew up. My direct family are contemporaries although we claim no relationship with Thomas.
