1584 - 1616.

English Jacobean poet and playwright.

Collaborated with John Fletcher on comedies and tragedies between 1606 and 1613.

Beaumont entered Broadgates Hall (later Pembroke College), Oxford, in 1597.

He left the university without a degree and later entered London's Inner Temple.

In 1602 there appeared the poem Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, generally attributed to Beaumont.

In 1613 Beaumont married an heiress, Ursula Isley of Sundridge in Kent and retired from the theatre.

Died in London in 1616.

Buried in Westminster Abbey.

Of the 54 plays with which their names or the names of their other collaborators are associated, one or two were written by Beaumont alone and only 9 or 10 were written by Beaumont and Fletcher in collaboration.

Beaumont's hand also probably appears in three other plays written together with Fletcher and Philip Massinger.
