Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Edward Forset (or Forsett) (1553–1630) was an English official, politician and writer, known for political works and as a playwright.[1]
Life
He was the fourth son of Richard Forsett, a barrister and Member of Parliament, and his wife Margaret Vaughan. Educated at Christ's College, Cambridge and Trinity College, Cambridge, he graduated B.A. in 1572, and was a Fellow of Trinity from 1574 to 1581.[1]

Works
Forset wrote:
- Pedantius (1581) (online text), a Latin comedy. It made fun of Gabriel Harvey.[3]
- A Comparative Discourse of the Bodies Natural and Politique (1606), contributing to the traditional monarchist theory of the king's two bodies: the body politic and the body natural.[4] This is considered one important source for later divine right and royalist ideas, as well as spinning out the bodily metaphor (the King as the heart).
- A Defence of the Right of Kings. Wherein the power of the papacie over princes, is refuted; and the Oath of Allegeance justified (1624), a belated reply to writings of Robert Parsons, belonged to the allegiance oath controversy.[5]
