	Amleth, Prince of Denmark
		Amleth should be closeted alone with his mother in her chamber; but a man should first be commissioned to place himself in a concealed part of the room and listen heedfully to what they talked about.
		Amleth, feigning offense, treated this piece of kindness as a grievance, and received from the king, as compensation, some gold, which he afterwards melted in the fire, and secretly caused to be poured into some hollowed sticks.
		Amleth, when he had accomplished the slaughter of his stepfather, feared to expose his deed to the fickle judgment of his countrymen, and thought it well to lie in hiding till he had learnt what way the mob of the uncouth populace was tending.

	Hamlet (legend) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amleth, afraid of sharing his father's fate, pretended to be imbecile, but the suspicion of Feng put him to various tests which are related in detail.
		Amleth surmised the purport of their instructions, and secretly altered the message on their wooden tablets to the effect that the king should put the attendants to death and give Amleth his daughter in marriage.
		Amleth's madness was certainly altogether feigned; he prepared his vengeance a year beforehand, and carried it out deliberately and ruthlessly at every point.

	22 The Traditional Hamlet
		Amleth's companions reproached him because of his conduct at the feast, but the prince said that the flesh smelt like human carcass, and that there was blood in the bread, and iron rust in the liquor.
		Amleth, meantime, made haste to Feng's sleeping chamber, and first he snatched the sword that was hanging from the king's bed and put his own in its place.
		Amleth would have fallen by the sword, which was thrust treacherously at him from behind, had he not been protected by a shirt of mail.

	Amleth/Hamlet
		In Roman tradition, the Tarquins were an Etruscan family that ruled Rome from ca.657 to ca.510 B.C. The revolt that deposed the last Tarquin was brought about by his son's rape of Lucrece and her subsequent suicide--a subject Shakespeare chose for a long narrative poem.
		In the original, the tale continues: Amleth returns to England to fetch his wife, little knowing that her father had sworn to take revenge if Feng was murdered.
		The King sends Amleth as his proxy to woo the Scottish Queen Hermutrude (whose habit is to kill all her suitors).

		Amleth obtains the letter, and substitutes an order of the death of his companions, adding an entreaty that the king grant his daughter in marriage to the wise youth whom he sends to him.
		He reports how Amleth told his companions that the bread was flecked with blood and tainted, and further, that the king had the eyes of a slave, and that the queen had in three ways shown the behaviour of a bond-maid.
		Amleth, feigning offence, treats this piece of kindness as a grievance, and receives from the king, as compensation some gold, which he afterwards melts in the fire, and secretly causes to be poured into some hollowed sticks.

		Amleth opened his mouth to speak, and the man gave a sudden twist, pulling his tunic free of the clawed hand that held him.
		Amleth's room was paneled in dark wood and sparsely furnished, with only a bed, a small table, and a single chair in it, and a single porthole closed by a wire lattice.
		Amleth was seated on the bed, moodily reading by the light of a flickering oil lamp swinging from the roof, that shed only a dim radiance.

		On the advice of one of Feng's consellors, it was arranged that Amleth should be brought into the presence of a fair young woman, to see how he would act towards her.
		But Amleth suspected he was being watched and took her away into the woods; there he lay with her and took her into his confidence, and she kept his secret.

		Amleth, on departing, gave secret orders to his mother to hang the hall with woven knots, and to perform pretended obsequies for him a year thence; promising that he would then return.
		Then Amleth scouted all the splendour of the royal banquet like vulgar viands, and abstaining very strangely, rejected that plenteous feast, refraining from the drink even as from the banquet.
		Amleth, feigning offence, treated this piece of kindness as a grievance, and received from the king, as compensation, some gold, which he afterwards melted in the fire, and secretly caused to be poured into some hollowed sticks.

		Feng, however, suspects that Amleth is plotting revenge, and sends him to Britain, accompanied by two men bearing a letter to the king, asking him to put Amleth to death.
		Amleth finds the letter and changes it so that the two men are the ones to die, while he marries the king’s daughter.
		After further adventures in Britain, Amleth returns to Denmark, only to be slain in battle, whereupon his second wife transfers her affections to his killer.

		Amleth immediately plans revenge, but in order to throw suspicion away from himself, “he chose to feign dulness, and pretend an utter lack of wits.” Under the guise of madness, Amleth begins preparing the weapons he will use for his vengeance: a pile of sharpened stakes.
		Amleth tells his mother that he will return in a year, but instructs her to prepare a funeral for him at that time.
		Amleth then encourages the nobles to drink and, when they are all so drunk that they fall asleep, he takes the drapes his mother has made for his funeral, flings them upon the sleepers, drives the stakes he had made earlier into it so that they could not escape, and sets fire to the palace.

		Amleth's father, King Horwendil of Denmark, was murdered by his brother, Feng, who immediately thereafter turned his deadly eye on his nephew.
		Amleth decided to play the fool to allay suspicion in his uncle's mind, hoping that this masquerade would save his life.
		Again we must ask 'Which Hamlet are we talking about?' If we are talking about Amleth, who knew from the beginning that he had been "rankly abused" and whose fellow nobles had gone along with the murder, he had no means to do anything other than act to save his own life.

		Also it could be seen how Amleth surprised the secret of his sleeping attendants, how he erased the letters, and put new characters in their places; how he disdained the banquet and scorned the drink; how he condemned time face of the king and taxed the Queen with faulty behaviour.
		But Amleth, having learnt the deceit, dissembled his fear, took a retinue of two hundred horsemen, put on an under- shirt (of mail), and complied with the invitation, preferring the peril of falling in with the king's deceit to the shame of hanging back.
		Yet Amleth was enchained by such great love for Hermutrude, that he was more deeply concerned in his mind about her future widowhood than about his own death, and cast about very zealously how he could decide on some second husband for her before the opening of the war.

	Studyworld Studynotes: Hamlet: Summary: Historical Context
		In writing Hamlet, Shakespeare drew mostly on the twelfth-century story of Amleth (just move the final "h" to the front of the word and you get "Hamlet"!) which first appeared in Saxo Grammaticus' Historie Danicae of 1514.
		The similarities of the two versions are striking: Amleth's father is murdered by his brother, Feng, who subsequently marries his brother's widow, Gerutha.
		Amleth plays the madman, kills a spy who has been overhearing his conversation with Gerutha, and finally is packed off to England with two escorts.

		According to Saxo's version of the story, Amleth's uncle Feng killed his father, Horwendil, and married his mother, Gerutha, quite publicly, and Amleth put on his "antic disposition" in an effort to appear harmless and childish while he plotted his revenge.
		Amleth was well-aware of the whole affair, but decided to handle it with cunning rather than straightforwardly: "Amleth beheld all this, but feared lest too shrewd a behavior might make his uncle suspect him.
		Fortunately, Amleth was forewarned about Feng's plot, and restrained himself: "The woman whom his uncle had dispatched met him in a dark spot, as though she had crossed him by chance; and he took her and would have ravished her, had not his foster-brother, by a secret device, given him an inkling of the trap.
