    • Abstract:
      A reference entry about the use of France in the plays of William Shakespeare is presented. French elements from the Hundred Years War intrude deeply into Shakespeare's English history plays like "Henry V" and "Henry VI." The playwright was also fascinated by French women, who provide many of the most striking female roles in his plays.
