| Notes: | The main plot deals with a Scottish challenge to King Henry IV led by Henry Percy ("Hotspur"), who is the son of the Earl of Northumberland. But just as important to the play is the subplot, consisting of several comic scenes in the Boar's Head Tavern in Eastcheap in which Prince Hal, the 'heir to the throne', carouses with his lowlife friends Poins, Jack Falstaff, Bardolph, and Francis the Page. |
