What was Shakespeare's benefactor?
The patrons of Shakespeare's acting company were Henry Carey, The Lord Chamberlain (1594-1603) and King James I (from 1603). His poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were dedicated to Henry Wriothesley, who is believed to be his patron. The Sonnets were dedicated to "Mr. W.H.", whoever that was (possibly also Wriothesley with his initials reversed.)
Why did Shakespeare's men change their company name?
They didn't. The changes of name (there were actually three of them) took place because of changes in their patron. The first change was because the patron died and they got a new patron, the second because the new patron got a new title, and the third because the king took over as the patron. Neither Shakespeare nor any other member of their company had any say in the company's name, which was simply the name (or title) of the patron with "Men" or "servants" behind it. One thing's for sure: they were never called "Shakespeare's Men." Not only was Shakespeare not in a position socially to be a patron, but he was not even the leader of the company.
