 of the company had a right to claim a partition of the repertory. They also bought The Cobler of Queenhithe, and from Robert Lee, formerly of the Admiral's men and afterwards of Queen Anne's, The Miller. But of these seven purchased plays, the only one that they can be proved to have revived is one of the Hercules plays, for which they bought properties in July. The book-inventory shows that they had plays called Black Joan and Sturgflattery, also possibly from Pembroke's stock; and the property-inventories that they had properties and clothes, if not in all cases books, for ''The Battle of Alcazar'' and for a number of pieces staged during 1594-7, including Mahomet, Tamburlaine, The Jew of Malta, 1 Fortunatus, The Siege of London, Belin Dun,[10] Tasso's Melancholy,[11] 1 Caesar and Pompey,[12] ''The Wise Man of West Chester,[13] The Set at Maw,[14] Olympo,[15] Henry V,[16] Longshanks'',[17] Troy,[18] Vortigern,[19] Guido,[20] Uther Pendragon.[21] To these must be added Pontius Pilate,[22] revived in 1601 and perhaps from the Pembroke's stock, and others now unidentifiable.[23] As the company revived The Blind Beggar of Alexandria in 1601 they probably had this also.[24]
