Written in 1599 by Anthony Munday, Michael Drayton, Robert Wilson and Richard Hathway, this history play answers Shakespeare’s Falstaff, who was first named Oldcastle. Its hero is the Lollard Lord Cobham, a loyal martyr rather than a glutton, set against plotting rebels and the comic thieving priest Sir John of Wrotham under Henry V.
A curiosity of the Shakespeare Apocrypha, once printed under his name, for anyone who loves the history plays. Download the free EPUB.
