	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henry IV
		Henry of Bourbon appealed to France, through his letters to the clergy and the nobility (1 January, 1586); he attempted to gain the support of the Protestant princes of Germany, and resolved to try the fortune of arms.
		Henry IV announced to the Grand Duke of Tuscany on 26 April, 1593, and to the Prince de Conti on 10 May, 1593, his coming submission to the Catholic Church; on 16 May the royal council pronounced in favour of the conversion.
		Henry IV, however, contributed towards it, owing to the influence of Père Coton, by favouring the work of the Jesuits, who, although they had been banished by a decree of the Parlement of Paris, were left undisturbed in the districts under the jurisdiction of the Parlements of Bordeaux and Toulouse.

	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).

	Henry IV, part 1
		Though titled "Henry IV," this play by William Shakespeare is the tale of the coming-of-age of the future Henry V—young Prince Hal, the compatriot of Falstaff and other disreputable rascals.
		At the outset, Prince Hal seems to pale in comparison with the fiery Henry "Hotspur" Percy, the young noble lord of the North.
		This is the tale of the prodigal son writ large against the backdrop of medieval England.

	Henry IV, Part 1-Folger Shakespeare Library
		At the center of Henry IV, Part 1 (which is called “Part 1” because it has a sequel, “Part 2”) are several family relationships—primarily pairs of fathers and sons, but also brothers, husbands and wives, and uncles and nephews.
		Henry himself has won (rather than inherited) the throne of England; Hal’s way of living can be seen as calling into public question Henry’s and his family’s right to the throne.
		Hotspur accomplishes deeds that “a prince can boast of”— as Henry is reminded—and Henry openly envies Northumberland “his Harry,” wishing that it could be proved that the two sons had been exchanged in their cradles so that Henry could be rid of Hal and could claim the gallant Hotspur as his own.

		My only complaint about "2 Henry IV" is that Shakespeare draws the scenes with Falstaff out too much (in my opinion).
		3.1 where King Henry IV contemplates the consequences of the crown he usurped from Richard II is quite moving.
		Not only does King Henry IV realize that his seizing the crown came with consequences.

	Henry IV, Part 1
		Henry IV, Part 1 is the second in a sequence of four history plays (the others being Richard II, Henry IV, Part 2, and Henry V) known collectively as the "second tetralogy," treating the early phases of the power struggle between the houses of Lancaster and York.
		The historical facts in the play are taken primarily from Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles, but Sir John Falstaff and his Eastcheap cronies are original creations who add an element of low comedy to Henry IV that is missing in Shakespeare's earlier chronicles.
		As Part 1 begins, Henry IV, tired of the strife that has accompanied his accession to the throne, is renewing his earlier vow to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

	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 2 is the third in a sequence of four history plays (the others being Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, and Henry V) known collectively as the "second tetralogy," treating the early phases of the power struggle between the houses of Lancaster and York.
		Henry IV's son John of Lancaster is leading the ongoing war against the Welsh chieftain, Owen Glendower, and Hotspur's father, Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland.
		Instead, Hal, now King Henry V, denounces Falstaff, orders him and his cronies to repent their profligate ways, and has the Lord Chief Justice take them to the Fleet prison until they reform.

	Henry IV Part II
		At the end of the latter play, the forces of King Henry IV defeat a rebel army at Shrewsbury, on the Welsh-English border, in 1403 during a battle in which the king’s son, Prince Henry (Hal), distinguishes himself by slaying the rebels’ champion, Hotspur.
		Henry IV Part II focuses on the final defeat of the remaining rebel forces, the illness and approaching death of King Henry, the further misadventures of Falstaff, and the transition of Hal from the carefree pub-crawler that he was in Part I to a sober-minded heir to the throne of England.
		Henry IV Part II is a history play about the last days of King Henry IV and the accession to the throne of his son, Prince Henry (Hal) as King Henry V.

		It also gives us, with Shakespeare's inimitable sleight of hand, the true essence of the relationship between Henry IV and his son even though it starts from a false version of history.
		The determined Sir John Oldcastle then organized a revolt and conspiracy whose goal (in addition to wholesale religious and social changes) was the murder (or at least the seizure) of King Henry V and his brothers (Seward 43-44).

	Henry IV, Part 2-Folger Shakespeare Library
		Like Part 1, Part 2 again puts on stage Prince Hal, son of King Henry IV and heir to the throne, who remains committed to the plan he disclosed early in Part 1 of distancing himself from his father’s court and of concealing his potential greatness as a future ruler by consorting with tavern dwellers.
		Part 2 then joins to the verbal competition between Prince Hal and Falstaff a struggle between Falstaff’s talents as a parasite and Justice Shallow’s wiliness in his own self-promotion.
		As the title page to Part 2 candidly reports, this play is “continuing” the story of Henry IV “to his death.” But however much Part 2 is just a sequel, it is nonetheless a powerfully moving work of dramatic art.

		When Henry passes by and Falstaff joyously greets him, Henry's words are: "I know thee not, old man" (V.v.47).
		But while Hotspur and Henry IV were merely in the way of Hal's route to the crown and did not constitute an inward menace, Falstaff must be banished.

		The indoor ``Henry'' moves forward in a deliberate fashion that tells the story, about the rise of Prince Hal (Michael Polak) from youthful indolence to his stature as king, without pulling the audience in.
		Tom Blair, who plays Henry IV in both productions, delivers misleading news of himself, as it were, in his doubled role as Bardolph.
		Falstaff figures heavily in ``Part 2.'' The rotund knight is onstage a great deal, drinking, bad-mouthing Hal, cozying up to a wench (the spitfiery Lizze Calogero), plumping up his military resume.
