Sir John Falstaff[edit]

In Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, Sir John Falstaff is depicted as a military pensioner resident in the appropriately named Garter Inn in Windsor. We may recall that, at the end of King Henry iv, Part ii, Prince Hal, now Henry V, tells Falstaff that "Competence of life I will allow you." For this to make sense, the Windsor play must chronologically be placed between 2Henry iv (where the new-crowned king rejects Falstaff) and Henry v (where Falstaff is dying as the King makes ready his army to invade France). Are we therefore to understand that the indefatigable "fat knight," Sir John, is one of the Military Knights of Windsor? (For my source, I must acknowledge a debt to the Arden Merry Wives of Windsor, edited by Giorgio Melchiori, 2000.) --PeadarMaguidhir (talk) 05:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One of the Military Knights pictured is not wearing even a single campaign or service medal. What kind of military career could such an officer have had to deserve being nominated as a Military Knight? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.108.140 (talk) 01:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
