Hidden Allusions in Shakespeares' Plays
Hidden Allusions in Shakespeares' Plays, by Eva Turner Clark
The Famous Victories of Henry V
Produced at court for the beginning of the theatrical season at Christmas 1574
containing parts of 1 and 2 Henry 4 and Henry 5
The Gad's Hill escapade on the road from Gravesend to Rochester occurred in May 1573
"The 14th year of Henry 4" is an unhistorical date
11th Earl of Oxford is made more prominent than in the source material of Hall's Chronicles of 1548, not Holinshead's of 1578 All dates indicated in the posts about the individual plays are those suggested by Eva Turner Clark.
