A historic chronic duology by William Shakespeare Henry IV (1597-1598) describes to a reader full of mutinous passion and bloody conflicts political life of England in the beginning of 15th century. When Henry IV (first from the Lancaster dynasty) came into power, a lot of bright, colourful and long remembered characters appeared at the historical scene, among them young Prince Harry, Sir Henry Percy nicknamed "Hotspur" and, of course, the jester knight Sir John Falstaff, the greatest comic character of all created by Shakespeare.
