Among the scattered notices in Henslowe's papers is an entry, dated September 3d, 1599, of 40s. advanced to Chettle, Jonson, Dekker, "and other gentlemen," on account of a tragedy they were engaged upon called "Robert the Second, King of Scots." The interest of the "second part" of "Robert Earl of Huntington," on the whole, is stronger than that of the first part, and some powerful, though not always tasteful, writing gives effect to the situations. The death of Robin Hood takes place as early as the end of the first act, and attention is afterwards directed to the two, otherwise unconnected, plots of the fate of Lady Bruce and her little son, and of the love of King John for Matilda. Robert Davenport's Tragedy of "King John and Matilda," printed in 1655, goes precisely over the same ground, and with many decided marks of imitation, especially in the conduct of the story. Davenport's production is inferior in most respects to the earlier work of Chettle and Munday. DRAMATIS PERSONAE.[257] KING RICHARD THE FIRST. PRINCE JOHN, _afterwards King_. ROBERT, _Earl of Huntington_. LITTLE JOHN. SCATHLOCK. SCARLET. FRIAR TUCK. MUCH, _the Clown_. BISHOP OF ELY. CHESTER. SALISBURY. LE
