His mother, Ann Cooke, was Sir Nicholas's second wife.She was a daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke and a member of the Reformed Puritan Church.His maternal aunt married William Cecil, the chief advisor of Queen Elizabeth 1. Biographers believe that Bacon received an education at home in his early years owing to poor health, which plagued him throughout his life.He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1573 at the age of twelve, living for three years there with his older brother Anthony. He was also educated at the University of Poitiers. At Cambridge he met the Queen, who was impressed by his precocious intellect, and was accustomed to calling him" the young Lord Keeper."
