The Queen's Men edit

Am I right in thinking that the common name for this Company was 'The Queen's Men', not 'Queen Elizabeth's Men'? I have never heard of the latter designation.Colin4C 20:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

In its own era, yes; but in the 1603-19 period, Queen Anne's Men were "the Queen's Men," and in 1625-42 Queen Henrietta's Men were "the Queen's Men." In The Elizabethan Stage, E. K. Chambers refers to the first of the three companies as Queen Elizabeth's Men. Ugajin 03:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
