Henry Herbert, s. of William, 1st Earl of Pembroke; ''nat. c.'' 1534; succ. as 2nd Earl, 17 Mar. 1570; m. (1) Catherine, d. of Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, 21 May 1553, (2) Catherine, d. of George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, 17 Feb. 1563, (3) Mary, d. of Sir Henry Sidney, c. Apr. 1577; President of Wales, 1586; residences, Baynard's Castle, London, Wilton House, Wilts., Ludlow Castle, &c.; ob. 9 Jan. 1601. [Bibliographical Note.—Halliwell-Phillipps collected provincial records and other notes on Pembroke's men in A Budget of Notes and Memoranda (1880). The Bill, Answer, and Replication in Shaw et al. v. Langley (1597-8, Court of Requests) are in C. W. Wallace, The Swan Theatre and the Earl of Pembroke's Servants (1911, E. S. xliii. 340).]  There is an isolated record of a Pembroke's company at Canterbury in 1575-6, hardly to be regarded as continuous with that which makes its appearance in the last decade of the century. Fleay, 87, puts the origin of the latter in 1589, and supposes it to be a continuation of Worcester's men after the death of their original patron in 1589, and to be the company ridiculed by Nashe (iii. 324) for playing Delphrigus and The King of the Fairies, in his preface to Greene's Menaphon (1589). But this Worcester's company is not in fact traceable during 1585-9, and Fleay's theory is only based on the allusion to Hamlet in the same preface (iii. 315), and the assumption that the Ur-Hamlet, like some other plays, passed to the Chamberlain's from Pembroke's, whereas it may just as well have passed to them from Strange's. As a matter of fact, there is no mention of Pembroke's before 1592 and no reason to suppose that it had an earlier existence. It will be well to detail the few facts of its history before attempting anything in the nature of conjecture. It was at Leicester in the last three months of 1592 and made its only appearances at Court on 26 December 1592 and 6 January 1593. In the following summer it travelled, and is found at York in June, at Rye in July, and in 1592-3 at Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Coventry, Bath, and Ipswich. But it had little success. Henslowe wrote to Alleyn on 28 September, 'As for my lorde a Penbrockes w^{ch} you desier to knowe wheare they be they ar all at home and hausse ben this v or sixe weackes for they cane not saue ther carges w^{th} trauell as I heare & weare fayne to pane ther parell for ther carge'. About the same time three of their plays came to the booksellers' hands. These were Marlowe's Edward the Second (1594, S. R. 6 July 1593), The Taming of A Shrew
