Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark (that's a country in Northern Europe, between Germany and Sweden), because his father, also called Hamlet, was the king. However, when Hamlet was away at University in Wittemberg, his father died, and before he got back, his uncle Claudius had proclaimed himself king and had married Hamlet's mother Gertrude. Hamlet gets back to find that the country is preparing for war, and some of his buddies have seen a ghost looking like his father stalking the battlements of the castle.
For the rest of the story, watch the play.
