Question

A play written in Latin about this man is the only canonical play by Thomas Legge. In an anonymous play, this man says “revenge” 16 times in a speech Hamlet quotes when he says, “the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge.” In a speech from one play, this man claims he can “set the murderous Machiavel (15[1])to school” (15[2])and “add colours to the chameleon.” (15[3])The stage direction “she spitteth at him” is from a scene (15[1])where this man states, “Take up the sword again, (15[1])or take up me” when proposing to a (15[1])woman over her (*) husband’s corpse. (10[2])In a (10[1])Shakespearean adaptation by Colley Cibber, (10[1])this man proclaims, “Off with his head! (10[1])So much for Buckingham.” During a battle in (10[1])one play, (10[1])this man is tormented by the ghosts (10[1])of people he murdered (10[4])like his brother Clarence (-5[1])and (10[1])the two young princes. (10[2])For 10 points, name this English king whom Elizabethan playwrights like William (10[1])Shakespeare depicted as a hunchback. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
