      Edmund Ironside

      OR, WAR HATH MADE ALL FRIENDS

      This anonymous play depicts the life of Edmund II of England. Some critics have suggested it is an early work of Shakespeare.  The play was never published in its own era and the unique copy of the text was preserved in a rare manuscript now in the British Museum. According to the scholar Eric Sams, Edmund Ironside contains 260 words or usages first used by Shakespeare himself, with 635 instances of rare words also used by him.  However, this argument has failed to convince the majority of Shakespearean scholars.

      Edmund Ironside tells the tale of King Canutus (Canute the Great), who faces an insurgency of the native English population led by Edmund II. Unbeknownst to them, they face a mutual enemy, a traitorous noble named Edricus, who hopes to take the crown for himself.
