I think there would have been a time when the basic history would have been common knowledge. You could have been certain that when the king comes on at the beginning -- 'So shaken as we are, so wan with care' -- they know he's wan with care because the country's been in a state of perpetual civil war since he deposed the previous king, Richard II. - Nicholas Hytner Quotes
