The Second Part of Henry the Fourth is a historical play written by William Shakespeare. It is the sequel to the play Henry IV, Part One, and continues the story of King Henry IV's reign and the rebellion led by the Earl of Northumberland and his son, Hotspur. The play opens with news of the death of Hotspur and the defeat of the rebels at the Battle of Shrewsbury. King Henry IV is still struggling to maintain his grip on the throne, as new threats to his reign emerge. His son, Prince Hal, continues to be torn between his wild youth and his royal responsibilities. As the play progresses, the rebellion is rekindled, and the king's health begins to fail. Prince Hal must choose between his loyalty to his father and his friendship with the rogue knight, Falstaff. Meanwhile, the Earl of Northumberland's son, Hotspur's brother, seeks revenge for his family's defeat. The play ends with the death of King Henry IV and Prince Hal's ascension to the throne as King Henry V. The Second Part of Henry the Fourth explores themes of power, loyalty, and honor, and is considered one of Shakespeare's greatest historical plays.Fal.

I am not onely witty in my selfe, but the cause that wit is in other men. I doe heere walke before thee, like a Sow, that hath o'rewhelm'd all her Litter, but one.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
