3 Henry VI. (1595). His fortunes declined, however, in the late 1570s.

There is great conjecture about Shakespeare's childhood years, especially regarding his education.

That Julius Caesar also belongs to 1599 is shown, not only by its links with Henry V. but also by an allusion to it in John Weever’s Mirror of Martyrs, a work written two years before its publication in 1601, and by a notice of a performance on September 2Ist,1599 by Thomas Platter of Basel in an account of a visit to London.
