Was Edward De Vere raised by Elizabeth I?

When his father (the 16th Earl of Oxford) died, Edward de Vere was a minor (he was under 18) so he became a royal ward - becoming a ward meant that someone other than his parents were given the legal rights and responsibilities of raising him. He was raised by Sir William Cecil, who was the Secretary of State and Queen Elizabeth's advisor. So although de Vere was not raised by Elizabeth he would have had some contact with her.
