Henry Iv Part-I

by William Shakespeare

Overview

It is thought that Henry IV, Part 1 was written no later than 1597. It dramatises a portion of King Henry IV of England's reign between 1402 and 1403. The play describes the misadventures of King Henry's son, Prince Hal (the future King Henry V), and his eventual return to court and favor, running parallel to the political conflict between King Henry and a rebellious faction of nobles. Samuel John Egbert Jones wrote the three-act play Henry IV, which was first released in 1828. It chronicles King Henry IV's attempts to put down a rising uprising. At the Battle of Shrewsbury, three sets of characters come together. The Prince makes amends with his father and is granted leadership of an army as Mortimer and the House of Percy's uprising gathers momentum. Hal joins Falstaff and his friends at the Boar's Head Tavern in the meantime. Falstaff takes bribes from individuals who do not wish to be forced into service in order to utilise the position to his advantage and profit himself.Although pleased with the outcome, King Henry orders Douglas' release without payment. The Archbishop of York and the Earl of Northumberland are now in charge of the ongoing rebellion.
