Does Nat switch places with his namesake from the 16th century?

Yes he does. This is because Nat Field of the 16th century has the bubonic plague otherwise known as "Black Death" which is impossibly incurable at that time. His namesake, Nat Field, of modern times is an actor of Shakespeare's plays. Somehow, both Nat's switch places and 16th century Nat's bubonic plague is easily cured while modern Nat performs a play with Shakespeare who becomes almost like his missing father figure in his life. The King of Shadows by Susan Cooper is a genius idea of a story and it is filled with action and adventure. :)
