Henry IV , Parts 1 and 2

Henry IV , Parts 1 and 2
Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2 [Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2]
two plays (c. 1597–8) by Shakespeare based on the period when ↑Henry IV was king of England. The play’s main characters are Prince Hal (Henry IV’s son and later ↑Henry V) and his friend Falstaff. In Part 1 Hal drinks and jokes with Falstaff and others in the Boar’s Head, a London ↑tavern (= pub), and his father worries that he is not serious enough to be a king. However, at the end he accepts his responsibilities and fights in a battle to defeat a ↑rebellion against his father. In Part 2, Hal is still friendly with Falstaff, but when Henry IV dies and Hal becomes king, he rejects him with the famous line: ‘I know thee not, old man’.
