How the Henry V plays of Shakspeare (Q1 Q2 Q3 FF) relate to the anonymous play „The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth" ?
Shakespeare's Play »The Life of Henry the Fifth« (L H V - First Folio) first appeared 1600 as Quarto »The Chronicle History of Henry The Fift« (CHF Q1[1600], Q2[1602] Q3[1608/1619]) - The Quarto Versions were only of half the length of the FF Version (1623). -
Up to now experts are in need of clarification, how these plays relate to the anonymous play „The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth" (V H F- registered within the year following Marlowe's disappearance 1594, but printed only in 1598 s.Faksimile above))
It would be too staggering a coincidence, if at the beginning of V H F the news for a little town of Deptford is given to King Henry V. by Sir John Oldcastle [later Falstaff]........-->
The famous Victories of Henry the Fifth - VHF)1598, Act I/1
Hen.V: .......whereabouts are we?
Tom: My Lord, we are now about a mile off London
Hen.V [enters Iockey [Sir John Oldcastle]:
how now Iockey what newes with thee?
Iockey: Faith my Lord, such newes as passeth,
For the Town of Detford is risen,
With hue and crie after your man,
Which parted from us the last night
Hen V: Sownes, the vilaine that was wont to spie
Out our booties.
Jockey: I my Lord, euen the very same.
Hen. V Now base minded rascal to rob a poore carrier,
Wel it skils not, ile saue the base vilaines life:
I, I may: .....
Are the phrases ( : "about a mile off London", "such newes as passeth for the town of Deptford"…“a man, with hue and crie parted from us the last night," .."he that was wont to spie out our booties", ... the king: I le save his life: I, I may...)
...really purely accidental and bear no "autobiographical" relation to Marlowe's final disappearance at Deptford?
Doesn’t the author of V H F wants to reveal us that he is alive, that he was not murdered, that the crown saved his live, that he is the (hidden) author of all the Henry plays etc.…..
