What did Shakespeare's theatre company The Lord Chamberlain's men change their name to and why?

They changed their name to the King's Men when they got a new patron, King James I in 1603 after Queen Elizabeth died. In Shakespeare's time, theatrical companies needed the patronage and protection of an important person. They would become the servants of the important person, and were therefore called his (or her) "men". Shakespeare's company formed under the patronage of the Lord Chamberlain, Henry Carey and were therefore called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. When King James I became king, he took over patronage of the company, which then became The King's Men. Shakespeare did not change the name of his theatre company; the name came from the important nobleman or member of the royal family that sponsored the company. If that person changed, the name changed.
