In which Shakespeare play do the characters Duke Frederick and Charles the Wrestler appear?
"Characters in As You Like It The following is a list of characters in William Shakespeare's ""As You Like It"". Duke Frederick is the younger brother of Duke Senior. Prior to the play he usurps power from his older brother. His hatefulness and paranoia are displayed when he banishes Rosalind, the daughter Duke Senior. However, at the end of the play, as Duke Frederick brings his army towards the forest to kill his brother, he happens upon a old priest who convinces him to take up the monastic life of peace and simplicity. Celia is the daughter of Duke Frederick."
"in the Court of Duke Frederick; he commands the court. Charles is the court-wrestler, who appears in the first Act of the play. He is a source of some preliminary information regarding the two Dukes and their two daughters. Orlando fights against him in the wrestling match. It is his defeat which makes Orlando a hero enabling him to win the heart of Rosalind. He is also the means to convey Oliver's villainy and serves as a foil to Orlando. Duke Senior is the elder brother of Duke Frederick. He has been banished by his younger brother. He, along with"

The first Shakespearean scholars to make a connection between Dover and Shakespeare were Samuel Johnson, George Steevens, Thomas Warton, and Edmond Malone; historian Jean Wilson has commented that it required ""quite imaginative leaps such as a hill referred to by Bolingbroke [King Henry IV of England] being the hill on which the games were held"". More recently, the historian and secretary of the Robert Dover's Games Society, Francis Burns, has suggested that the wrestling scene in ""As You Like It"" ""reflects the wrestling at the Games"".

The problem exists with at least four other Shakespearian plays (""Henry IV, part 1"", ""Hamlet"", ""Troilus and Cressida"", and ""Othello""). During Shakespeare's lifetime, many of his greatest plays were staged at the Globe Theatre and the Blackfriars Theatre. Shakespeare's fellow members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men acted in his plays. Among these actors were Richard Burbage (who played the title role in the first performances of many of Shakespeare's plays, including ""Hamlet"", ""Othello"", ""Richard III"" and ""King Lear""), Richard Cowley (who played Verges in ""Much Ado About Nothing""),"

This may be intended as the Ardennes, a forested region covering an area located in southeast Belgium, western Luxembourg and northeastern France, or Arden, Warwickshire, near Shakespeare's home town, which was the ancestral origin of his mother's family—who incidentally were called ""Arden"". Frederick has usurped the duchy and exiled his older brother, Duke Senior.

Marlowe wrote ""Edward the Second"" which deals with the deposition of King Edward II by his barons and the Queen, who resent the undue influence the king's favourites have in court and state affairs, and ""The Massacre at Paris"", which dramatizes the events of the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre in France in 1572.
