From 1585-1596 it was Henry Carey 1st Baron Hundson, not sure about before and after.

Lord Hunsdon, the Lord Chamberlain of England, was the company's first patron. When he died his son became their patron and, coincidentally, was also made the Lord Chamberlain. In 1603, the company took the title of its new patron and became the King's Men.
Elizabeth was never Shakespeare's patron although she paid for some of his works to be performed at court (the place) for her. She did this also with many other playwrights. His company was called the Lord Chamberlain's Men and was funded, like all theatrical companies of the time, by the profits they made, not by the Lord Chamberlain, and certainly not by not the queen. In fact, the Queen was the patron of her own theatrical company (The Queen's Men) which was in competition with the other companies, including the Lord Chamberlain's Men, although she did not take much of an interest in it. Although laws protecting theatrical companies by allowing them to exist if they had a noble patron were passed in Elizabeth's reign, it is reported that she herself had small interest in the theatre. In this respect she differs from her successor James who was an active supporter of the theatre as were most of the members of his family.

He himself did not preform, but his actors did. I am not so sure of the date, but this action was highly noted. I also know that making this piece was a hard task, due to the small amount of actors. (all actors were male) Hope this helps!!!!!

The Lord Chamberlain's Men. In 1603 they changed their name to the King's Men because Queen Elizabeth died. Tate Paxton is an idiot. The truth is, they changed their name from Lord Chamberlain's Men because Queen Elizabeth was sick and tired of men in her life, and she wanted to punch Tate in the face.
Shakespeare became one of the founding members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men company.
The Lord Chamberlain was (and still is) the official in charge of the monarch's household, including the providing of court entertainments.
Originally William Shakespeare's theater company was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. In which Shakespeare not only wrote the plays for but was also seen to be an active actor. This company was founded in 1594 under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I by the patronage of Henry Carey known as the Lord Chamberlain (hence the original name). Chamberlain was in charge of all the court entertainments. His death in 1596 resulted in his son, George Carey, to take his place as the company's patron. George was also known as the 2nd Baron Hunsdon which led to Shakespeare's company to be renamed to Lord Hunsdon's Men until he became the new Lord Chamberlain in 1597. When Queen Elizabeth I passed away, King James took the throne and became the new patron. So, in 1603 the company's name was then changed to the King's Men.
Theatrical troupes or companies of Shakespeare's day were named after their patrons, or sponsors. During Queen Elizabeth's reign it was called the Lord Chamberlain's Men because their sponsor was Baron Hunsdon, the Lord Chamberlain. When King James I came to the throne he became the patron so the company was called the King's Men.
