There is a story that the Queen was so fond of Falstaff, a jolly fat gentleman, who
appears in “Henry IV ” and “Henry V ”, that she asked Shakespeare to write a play especially
for her which would show Falstaff in love. Shakespeare did this and called the play “The
Merry Wives of Windsor” (1601) – nobody, however, has recorded whether the Queen
enjoyed this play or not. Presenting plays at Court was also a great honour for the Lord
Chamberlain’s Men, but it was also a great chore, since it meant many extra rehearsals and
special preparations. The costumes had to be that much more lavish and the make-up that
much more perfect, to please the Queen.

1. Shakespeare wrote “Henry IV ” and “Henry V ” before 1601.
2. Falstaff was a character in “Henry IV ” and “Henry V ”.
3. The Lord Chamberlain’s Men were a group of singers.
4. The Lord Chamberlain’s Men entertained the Queen.

5. The play “The Merry Wives of Windsor” was recorded to have been liked by the
Queen much.
