Francis Bacon was an obscure but ambitious lawyer. He became Solicitor-General and rapidly rose to the office of Lord Chamberlain, whilst writing a stream of books that would influence later generations of scientists and thinkers. His time of influence was short lived as he was stripped of office after being accused of corruption.
