The Royall King And Loyall Subject (1906)

The Royall King And Loyall Subject is a historical play written by Thomas Heywood in 1637. The play is set in England during the reign of King Henry VIII and explores the themes of loyalty, duty, and honor. The story revolves around the conflict between the king and his loyal subject, Sir Thomas More, who refuses to support the king's divorce from his wife and the establishment of the Church of England. The play portrays the tension between the king's desire for power and the loyalty of his subjects, as well as the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by those who serve the crown. Heywood's play is a powerful commentary on the nature of power and the responsibilities of those who wield it.
