Wow, that was a great write up, you're very knowledgeable in this! Apologies for the delay, your reply caused me to revisit a load of wabbit holes I hadn't visited in years.
I'd always wondered if there were machinations behind Henry VII's situation, as you say it reeks of a cabal-esque coup ('follow the wives' earliest historical reference?). The lengths to which history was purged and re-written seems to indicate this was a major turning point, and victory, for the hidden hand.
I have a feeling Edward VI has been whitewashed by cabal history too- I've seen books that reference him as extremely devout and much maligned rather than the weak soul we see depicted. After all, who's to tell the difference of a few years carbon dating a painting after all this time, they could much more easily alter the historical record in real time back then- same playbook as now- repeat the lie until it's truth, paint over all evidence and kill all who disagree.
Onto the end of your timeline we can also put one of the plagues- the black death of 1665-6, and subsequently the Great Fire of 1666, these would of course not aid the sovereign debt you reference.
This likely led (in the end) to the formation of the Bank of England 1694 and we've all been robbed blind ever since. The decodingsymbols guy linked an early comm to Jupiter's moons and the De Medici children which paired with the Bank's formation IIRC. Very early comms! I have a feeling that the little 'miniature portraits' may have contained signs and symbols indicative of allegiances, beliefs and potentially messages.
All paintings of the day are rich in symbolism, heraldry and semiotics. I've often thought they were communicating preferences and compatibility to each other in advance of meeting- explains the failure rate of betrothals of the day.
On a minor tangent, the rise of Bacon and the very good points you make connected to Shakespeare may well not be unconnected. I was just browsing the parallels between the two and found this:

It makes interesting conclusions (which I won't spoil unless you want a TLDR)
