King Lear and Cordelia are sent to prison after being captured by Cornwall's troops. When they appear at the end of the play, King Lear walks in carrying Cordelia's corpse. She died in prison during the battle between Cornwall's troops and French troops. Lear, after a grief-ridden monologue, dies because the emotional strain is too great i.e. "died of a broken heart".
King James I became the patron of the Lord Chamberlain's men when he bacame king, and the company was renamed the King's Men. That made all of the actors the king's servants, including Shakespeare. Some people think Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in order to win the king's approval, although the story was written that way in his sources anyway. There is no record that Macbeth was played at court, and it is unlikely that Macbeth was the King's favourite play, as he appears to have preferred comedies. (He expressly asked for The Merchant of Venice for Shrove Tuesday in 1606--this really was one of his favourite plays) In any event, Shakespeare would not have had any personal relationship with the king, as kings and players did not mix socially.
None. Shakespeare's company was honoured to have the King as a Patron, and when they performed at court they performed Shakespeare's plays, but the king did not single out Shakespeare for any special honour.
Shakespeare's name was William Shakespeare no matter who the monarch was.
The King's Men were Shakespeare's acting group. He was one of the more prominent members.

There is no concrete evidence to suggest that King James I and William Shakespeare were lovers. While there were rumors and speculation about their relationship, it remains a topic of historical debate and interpretation.
