King Lear

King Lear 1589

Albany represents Margaret Tudor’s line
France represents Mary Tudor’s line
Cornwall is Elizabeth
Edmund is Henry Howard
Edgar is Oxford
Kent is Drake, who was exactly 45 years old in 1589

Other Oxfordians claim the Play was written later and Lear is Oxford, hence the name change from Leir, and the 3 daughters represent his 3 daughters, Elizabeth, Countess of Derby, Susan, Countess of Pembroke and Montgomery, and Bridget, Countess of Berkshire.

Unless otherwise mentioned, all dates in these posts about the plays are Eva Turner Clark's, from her "Hidden Allusions".
