During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, William Shakespeare belonged to and had partial ownership of an acting company called The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, which had been named in honor of its patron, Henry Carey, Lord Chamberlain. A chamberlain serves the royal household, and Carey was in charge of court entertainment. The acting company was formed in London and held exclusive rights to perform Shakespeare’s plays, which made up the majority of its repertoire. When Queen Elizabeth I died, she was the last of the Tudor line and was succeeded in 1603 by King James I (James Charles Stuart: the son of Mary, Queen of Scots). King James became the new patron of the acting company, so it was renamed The King’s Men in his honor.
