HENRY V. OF FRANCE. See Chambord, Duke of. HENRY IV. An historical play by William Shakespeare, in two parts, produced in 1597 and 1598, printed in 1598 and 1600. The sources are Holinshed's Chronicles and a popular old play (produced in 1588), The Famous Victories of Henry V. In it the royal hero, wlio had ap- peared as a spirited youth in Richard II., is represented as a care-worn monarch, who has passed down his boyish fire to his son. Prince Hal. The plot deals with Hotspur's rebellion and the sobering of the Prince's character through the tempering process of his nation's trial. See Falst.fp. HENRY V. An historical drama by William Shakespeare, a continuation of Henry IV., and derived from the same sources. It deals with the adventures of Prince Hal after he ascended the throne, especially with his invasion of France, and tells of the death of Henry's former boon companion, FalstaflF. It was performed in 1599, and was printed in 1600, imperfectly, by Thomas Creede. HENRY VI. An historical drama in three parts, produced in 1592-94, and printed in 1594- 95, in which Shakespeare's genius can be traced, working over the cruder stuff of possibly Mar- lowe, Peele, Lodge, Kyd, and Greene or some un- known dramatists. It deals with the early years of Henjy VI.'s reign, his misfortunes during the Wars of the Roses, and his tragic death. The first part was produced in 1592, and called forth Greene's charge of plagiarism in his Groat's Worth of Wit. The second part, founded on an old play. The First Part of the Contention Be- tween the Two Famous Houses of Yorfce and Lancaster, and the third part, founded on The True Trngedie of Richard, Duke of Yorke, were evidently elaborated and adapted by Shakespeare from works by unknown writers.

Only Act I., Scene 1; Ac{ II., Scenes 3 and 4 : Act III., Scene 2 ; Act IV., Scene 1, can be ascribed to Shakespeare; the rest was written by Fletcher, with possibly some help from Jlassinger.
