Mistakes?

[edit]
  • "Upon Charles' Death in 1639, his son William took charge. Williams first move, as manager, was to have Richard Brome, a poet and dramatist for the Salisbury Court, secured for seven years as the chief poet for the Cockpit." Isn't it wrong? Father of William was Christopher, and he died 1638.
  • "In 1640 Beeston's Boys acted a play that offended King Charles I personally, by referring to his failure to suppress the Scottish Presbyterians during his recent expedition to the north. (Though the identity of the play is not known with certainty, Richard Brome's The Court Beggar is perhaps the best candidate. The offending passages did not survive into the printed text.)" According zu Andrew John Gurr book The Shakespearean Stage 1574–1642 p. 64 ([1] it was an offence zu Queen Henrietta an her favorites and others... not to the King and his defeat. If so, then please give a source to that. Alberich21 (talk) 15:26, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
