The original cast is unknown, but Richard Burbage may have played Prince Hal, with Augustine Phillips as King Henry, and William Sly as Hotspur. It is possible that Shakespeare himself played the King, rather than Phillips. There is no certainty as to who played Falstaff, the character chiefly responsible for the play’s popularity. Either William Kemp or Thomas Pope, both leading comic actors with the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, could have created the role. The only certain early performances were all for royalty or aristocracy. Publication in quarto and folio Henry IV, Part 1 appeared in 11 editions before 1642. Quarto 0, [1598]. Andrew Wise entered ‘The historye of Henry the iiijth’ on the Stationers’ Register on 25 February 1598. The third quarto was printed by Valentine Simmes for Law in 1604.
Shakespeare’s sources Story of the play. HENRY V, King of England (1387-1422) HENRY V, King of England, son of King Henry IV by Mary de Bohun, was born at Monmouth, in August 1387.
On his father's exile in 1398, Richard II took the boy into his own charge, and treated him kindly. Next year the Lancastrian revolution forced Henry into precocious prominence as heir to the throne. From October 1400 the administration of Wales was conducted in his name; less than three years later he was in actual command of the English forces and fought against the Percies at Shrewsbury.
The Welsh revolt absorbed his energies till 1408. Then through the king's ill-health he began to take a wider share in politics. The quarrel of father and son was political only, though it is probable that the Beauforts had discussed the abdication of King Henry IV, and their opponents certainly endeavoured to defame the prince. Henry succeeded his father on the 20th of March 1413.
The campaign of 1415, with its brilliant conclusion at Agincourt (October 25), was only the first step. King Lear - Act 1, Scene 1 by William Shakespeare. Mythology Guide - Baucis and Philemon. Erasmus’s Education of a Christian Prince. The Three Sisters, Anton Chekhov, 1901. Act I OLGA.
