When did Shakespeare write the play?

Answer 1

It is a very early play, and the actual date is unknown. It usually assigned a date around 1588-1590, on the grounds that a playwright named Robert Greene made a reference to Part 3 in 1592, and Part 1 is likely somewhat earlier.

Answer 2

The play was thought to have been written in 1598 or 1599. Old legends claim that Henry V was the first play performed at the Globe, in spring of 1599. Some records claim by 1600, the play had been performed many times, so that now scholars are virtually certain that the play was first performed at the Curtain, not at the Globe. The play itself was first published in the winter of 1600.

Answer 3

Shakespeare wrote three plays which are called Henry VI in the First Folio: Henry VI Part I, Henry VI Part II and Henry VI Part III. Parts II and III had been previously published; Part II in 1594 and Part III in 1595. But Robert Greene had quoted from Part III in his Groatsworth of wit in 1593. Henslowe's Diary has Lord Strange's Men playing "Harey vj" as early as 1591. This is the date often tentatively ascribed to Parts II and III. Part 1 is trickier because although it treats of events immediately following the death of Henry V, it may have been written after the other two parts, but not that much after, judging by the style.

Answer 4

He didn't; in fact nobody did. Shakespeare wrote plays about Henry VI and Henry VIII, but not about Henry VII. This is probably because it was impossible to write anything about him that was both true and sufficiently flattering to him to get past the censors.

Answer 5

Shakespeare wrote three plays all of which are named after Henry VI in the First Folio, and are called parts one, two and three.

Part One was first published as part of the First Folio in 1623.

Part Two was first published as a Quarto in 1594 under the title The First part of the Contention betwixt the two famous Houses of Yorke and Lancaster, with the death of the good Duke Humphrey: And the banishment and death of the Duke of Suffolke, and the Tragicall end of the proud Cardinal of Winchester, with the notable Rebellion of Jack Cade: and the Duke of Yorke's first claim unto the Crowne. That title, although it gives a pretty good summary of what goes on in the play, is too long for everyday wear; in the Folio it was just called Part 2

Part Three was first published as an Octavo in 1595 under the title True Tragedie of Richard Duke of Yorke, and the death of good King Henrie the Sixt, with the Whole Contention betweene the two Houses Lancaster and Yorke
