Quite a lot, actually. Shakespeare lived in the transition period between the late Middle Ages and the early Industrial Age. Ideas of honour, or chivalry, of nobility and noblesse oblige, of a world centred upon the teachings of the church, were on the way out. Ideas of commercialism, of pragmatic morality, of reward based on merit, and a world which could be understood by human reason were on the way in. At that time the two ideas were in conflict, so you could find knights who were absolute rogues like Sir John Falstaff.
