The King’s Men
The King’s Men was a playing company in early modern London. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the group had been known as The Lord Chamberlain’s Men after its then patron, Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon. It was re-named in 1603 when King James I took over as patron soon after acceding to the throne. It is famous for being the
company to which William Shakespeare belonged for most of his career.
