	Henry IV, Part 1: An Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Henry IV, Part 1 opens with a scene of royal power--King Henry IV is in control, and he sits in council with his chief ministers.
		Henry talks in his opening speeches of how his kingdom is now at peace how he now wants to undertake the finest duty of a Christian king--to organize a crusade.
		From Henry's point of view, this is clever military strategy--efficient policy at work; from Hotspur's point of view it is a denial of what true honour requires, which is not something politically expedient or efficient but something deeply personal, a manifestation of one's true character honestly and publicly announced and maintained.

	Henry IV, Part 1: Introductory Note (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Henry IV, Part 1 is the second play in a four-play sequence which tells a more-or-less continuous story of the first part of the Wars of the Roses, a prolonged civil war carried on by different factions of the royal family, the Plantaganets.
		The importance of Mortimer in Henry IV, Part 1 stems from the fact that, once Richard II is dead, Mortimer's claim to the throne of England may be more legitimate than Henry's.
		In Shakespeare's Second History Cycle, this succession of violence is broken only with the death of Henry IV (at the end of Part 2) and the brief and glorious reign of Henry V. The Wars of the Roses continued long after Henry V (whose reign brought a short interlude in the civil war).

	The Greatest Literature of All Time - Henry IV, Part 1
		But Henry IV, Part 1 introduces the ever-popular rascal, Falstaff, whose subplots steal the play from the more serious and boring themes of maturation and responsibility exemplified by the young prince Hal and his father Henry IV.
		In Henry IV, the king is certainly cast in the mould of duty before self — "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" (from Part 2) and all that.
		The prince's transformation is seen as a response to this duty, rather than to personal ambition, and in Henry V the prince, now king himself, becomes the most embodiment of the English nation to date in his patriotically inspiring performance at the battle of Agincourt.

		Henry IV: Part I is the second in a series of four English history plays that make up Shakespeare's major tetralogy.

		At bottom, Henry IV: Part I is essentially a coming of age story in which the king's son, Prince Henry or Hal, emerges from his youthful role as a wastrel companion of the tavern crew, into the role of a genuine English monarch by virtue of both blood and character.
