THE HISTORY OF THE PLAY
The success of Henry IV, Part I, led Shakespeare,
apparently, to write the second part as a sequel.
The date of its composition may be definitely stated
as lying somewhere between 1596 and 1599. The
death of Amurath III, to which reference is made in
V. ii. 48, occurred in 1596; and in Ben Jonson's
Every Man out of his Humour (Act V. sc. ii.), writ
ten in 1599, reference is made to Justice Silence.

is evidenced by the unfulfilled promise in the Epi
logue of the present play (see the note on that pas
sage).
An acting version of the play, the only known
contemporary Quarto edition, was printed in 1600
and entered on the Stationers' Register on August
23 of that year. The full text of the play appeared
for the first time in the First Folio in 1623. Of the
many contemporary allusions to the play of Henry
IV and the characters of the play, the following
