The ten plays usually called history plays are King John, Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, Henry V, Henry VI Part 1, Henry VI Part 2, Henry VI Part 3, Richard III and Henry VIII. Kings of England portrayed at one point or another in these plays are John, Henry III, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Edward IV, Edward V, Henry VII and Henry VIII. The following Kings and Queens of England appear in Shakespeare's history plays: John, Henry III, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Edward IV, Edward V, Richard III, Henry VII, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth. Whether they were made immortal by these characterizations is another story. Henry III and Henry VII only appear at the end of plays to take over from the previous and recently deceased monarch. And Edward V is just a teenager and Elizabeth a baby when they appear.


What are two of Shakespeare's histories with name of a character in each?

All of Shakespeare's history plays are named after an English King who appears in the play, and in whose reign the events take place. Although Henry VI is a character in Henry VI Part I, he is not the main character. Talbot is the main character. Also in Henry IV Part II we don't see much of Henry IV. We see a lot more of his son Prince Hal.
