Reign of King Edward the Third

The Reign of King Edward the Third is an Elizabethan play, likely co-written by William Shakespeare and Thomas Kyd, first printed anonymously in 1596. The play features two main plots: the rescue of the Countess of Salisbury from Scottish raiders by King Edward III, who then pursues her romantically, and Edward's military campaign in France, highlighting themes of war and morality. Its portrayal of Scots led to controversy and its exclusion from the First Folio, making it a notable work in Shakespearean studies.
