Sir John Oldcastle, which he calls in his preface the " first trew Oldcastle," perhaps on account of the fact that Shakespeare's FalstaS first appeared as Sir John Oldcastle.
In the fourth stanza of this long poem, in which Sir John is his own panegyrist, occurs a reminiscence of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar which serves to fix the date of the play.
Bruchus pisi causes considerable damage to pease; during the spring the beetle lays its eggs in the young pea, which is devoured by the larva which hatches out in it.

 1 Henry IV
John Falstaff was based on the historical character John Oldcastle, Shakespeare going so far as to use Oldcastle's name (Hal's pun on it remains in the first scene) in the first performances of the play.
Oldcastle, an early Protestant fanatic, was convicted of heresy by the equally fanatical Catholic courts in 1413, but "execution was stayed at the behest of the king, who endeavored personally to reconvert his friend to orthodoxy" (Peter Saccio, Shakespeare's English Kings: History, Chronicle, and Drama [New York: Oxford University Press, 1977], 71-72).
The determined Sir John 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).

 Sir John Oldcastle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir John Oldcastle is an Elizabethan play about John Oldcastle, a controversial 14th-15th century rebel and Lollard who was seen by some of Shakespeare's contemporaries as a proto-Protestant martyr.
In fact, the diary of Philip Henslowe records that it was written by Anthony Munday, Michael Drayton, Richard Hathwaye and Robert Wilson.
The play's positive depiction of Oldcastle may have been a reaction against Shakespeare's Henry IV plays, in which the fat buffoon Falstaff was originally called Oldcastle before complaints from Oldcastle's descendants forced a name change.

 September 23: John Oldcastle tried for heresy
John Oldcastle was a frank man. As a youth he indulged in pleasures, but coming under the influence of the reform teachings of Wycliffe, he sobered up, purified his ways and started on a new course.
It is said Oldcastle was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff (pictured above), the boon companion of Henry V. Although Henry was for reform, it was not of the type Oldcastle envisioned.
In 1413 Henry reasoned with Oldcastle, but the knight stubbornly refused to embrace "mother church" as matters stood, for to do so was to yield to the Pope whom he thought to be the antichrist.

 Brooks Oldcastle and Authorship
The identical typographic distinction accorded Oldcastle's confession and condemnation strongly suggests that Foxe and his printer have relied on the press to enhance Bale's earlier effort to dislodge Oldcastle's martyrdom from the realm of the logos and relocate it under the sign of the graphie.
John Dennis, we recall, is the first to suggest that such a relationship existed, and he indicates in the dedicatory epistle of his 1702 revision of The Merry Wives of Windsor that "[Merry Wives] pleas'd one of the greatest Queens that ever was in the world.
In their accounts of Oldcastle, Bale and Foxe had carefully subordinated royal authority to Oldcastle's authority by placing the martyr in a position-with reference to the Catholic Church-that was morally and spiritually superior to the monarch's.

Having said these things thus, amongst many and various said by the aforementioned Lord John Oldcastle, he replied explicitly that he did not wish to declare differently from the aforesaid, nor otherwise than was contained in his aforementioned paper, to reply to those things in any other way.
We recited the acts of the previous day, affably and gently; and, as we previously rcounted, in what way he--and it is that same John--would be excommunicated; and we asked and requested that he should seek and admit in accordance with his obligation the absolution of the Church.
Therefore we gently and in a calm manner asked and requested the same Lord John that he give your [sic] clear response of and concerning the contents of the aforementioned paper, the decision of the Church translated for him, and about the articles put to him; and firstly about the sacrament of the eucharist.

The fascination of John Henry Newman lay in what he was; more in the open book of his own life than in the volumes which he wrote, and the deep things which he taught.

You'll be as surprised as I am to learn there is actually a word called 'Lollardry' (or Lollardy), and you'll be as equally enthralled (or disinterested) to learn that Lollardry was a movement for ecclesiastical reform, which undoubtedly weakened the English medieval church's hold on the people.
Sir John Oldcastle was a leader of Lollardry and friend of Henry V who was condemned for heresy in the early 15th century, escaped from the Tower of London, was recaptured and executed by hanging over a slow fire.

The renaming of the character Falstaff in Shakespeare's play 'Henry IV Part I' to Sir John Oldcastle by editors of the Oxford 'William Shakespeare: The Complete Works' is analyzed.
It is argued that the deletion and subsequent restoration of Oldcastle in the text of 'Henry IV Part I' indicates two textual points in the history of Shakespeare's authorship.
The posthumous construction of Oldcastle's martyrdom is also linked to the posthomous construction of Shakespeare's authorship.
