The King's Men was the name for the theatrical company formerly known as the Lord Chamberlain's men after King James I became their patron in 1603. Shakespeare was a member of this company and all of the plays he wrote after 1594 were the exclusive property of the company. So, if you wanted to see a play by Shakespeare, you had to see the King's Men perform it.

What honor was bestowed on Shakespeare by the king?
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.
Is there any proof that Shakespeare wrote his plays?
Yes, the proof that Shakespeare wrote his plays is as good as that for any of his contemporaries. First of all, we know that the Stratford man was the same person as the member of the King's Men acting company because one of the actors left things to Shakespeare in his will and Shakespeare left things in his will to his fellow actors Burbage, Heminges and Condell. Shakespeare's name appears all over the records of the King's Men, so obviously he was the same man. After Shakespeare became a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, his plays were exclusively performed by this company, showing that the author was someone associated with the company. What is more, the plays were consistently attributed to Shakespeare during his lifetime by the numerous publishers that published them, with no recorded protest from Shakespeare, the King's Men or anyone else. (Shakespeare's protest when the publisher Jaggard published Thomas Heywood's poetry as Shakespeare's was duly recorded by Heywood in 1612) Believing that the plays were not written by Shakespeare either involves believing that the entire theatrical community of the time was involved in a massive conspiracy to hide the true authorship of the plays (which is impossible) or that someone else wrote the plays and secretly gave them to Shakespeare to use as his own (which is not only highly unlikely, but is as likely for any other author at any time. How do you know whether or not Stephanie Meyers is secretly fronting for some other author?)
