Did William Shakespeare ever write about history?

Answer 1

Shakespeare did in fact write about history, he also wrote about some mythology and he did write about fantasy. Whether you look at Henry V which is at Shakespeare's time a historical figure. Or about Greek Myths, or Egypt's Queen Cleopatra? Shakespeare did in fact write about history in the persona's of the figures of said history. He was not an historian of course he was a Playwright, however, his words were seen by hundreds, they told a story, just like the Greek Plays brought entertainment to the masses.
