Richard II...
Henry Bolingbroke who becomes Henry IV...
Prince Hal... who becomes Henry V...
Hotspur... a fellow rebel, supporter, and then enemy of the Bolingbrokes...
Then, there's the crown's favorite coward... Falstaff!
Then, there's the rest of the gang at Miss Quickly's tavern...
The Henriad, so called, was actually made into an epic television production titled The Hollow Crown. Check out the trailer...
Oh, and the following is not a speech written by Shakespeare... It's Tom Hanks improvising / stalling for time when the play Henry IV was halted due to a medical emergency of an audience member. Acting as Falstaff, hanks uses his quick wit keep the audience engaged...
