Origin
Shakespeare's rather infamous tragedy "King Lear" has presumably been written between 1603 and 1606. It bases on a legend dealing with the acutal King Lear, who was said to have reigned in Britain 800 years BC and his three daughters. The legend was famous in Elizabethan times. After the play didn't draw as many spectators as other Shakespeare tragedys he editet it and gave it a happy ending, which increased it's popularity.
