Soon after its adoption as a heraldic motto, it appeared in Christopher Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus (written ca. Their successors-Earls and, later, Dukes of Bedford ("Sixth Creation"), as well as other aristocratic families-continued to use the motto. The 2nd Earl's adoption of the motto is commemorated in a manuscript dated 1582. It is said by some sources to have been adopted by the elder Russell after his experience at the Battle of Pavia (1525), and to be engraved on his tomb (1555 N.S.). The "Italian" form was first adopted as a family motto by either John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford, or his son, Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford. Nicholas, Thames Ditton, Surrey, dated 1559. The "Spanish" form appears on a brass plaque in the Church of St. Both the Spanish-like spelling used by Livingston and Evans and an Italian-like form ("che sarà sarà") are first documented in the 16th century as an English heraldic motto. The popularity of the song has led to curiosity about the origins of the title saying, "que sera, sera", and the identity of its language. It was evidently formed by a word-for-word mistranslation of English "What will be will be". Contrary to popular perception, the phrase is not Spanish in origin (in Spanish it would be "lo que será, será"), and is ungrammatical in that language. The song popularized the title expression "que sera, sera" as an English-language phrase indicating "cheerful fatalism", though its use in English dates back to at least the 16th century. It was a number-one hit in Australia for pop singer Normie Rowe in September 1965. In 2004 it finished at number 48 in AFI's 100 Years.100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
