In truth wasn’t a King that wrote the Shakespeare plays and
Shakespeare himself was just the actor who got the credit for it because the king didn’t want to be known?.
That would explain why the only British King in Shakespeare's lifetime liked Shakespeare's plays so much he asked Will to be one of the carriers of the awning used to cover the coronation. Oh, wait, no it wouldn't.
That has never made any sense to me. Why would someone go to all that trouble to write plays then not want the fame that goes with it, when they are well received, king or duke or vassal?
Several names have been put up that may have written a play or two, but the entire catalog? I doubt it..............
