Many apple cultivars have some natural russeting, but some are almost entirely covered in it, notably the Egremont Russet . Russet apples often exhibit a scent and flavour reminiscent of nuts , and are often very sweet. Despite this, modern apple breeders rarely accept russeting in new apple cultivars. The amount of russeting can be affected by various factors including, weather , disease or pest damage and agrochemical applications (e.g. insecticides , fungicides and growth regulators ). Russet apples also go under

Several scenes specifically parallel episodes in Part 1. Of

180-478: The Dering Manuscript (Folger MS V.b.34), a theatrical abridgment of both parts of Henry IV prepared around 1623. Part 2 is generally seen as a less successful play than Part 1 . Its structure, in which Falstaff and Hal barely meet, can be criticised as undramatic. Some critics believe that Shakespeare never intended to write a sequel, and that he was hampered by a lack of remaining historical material with

480-683: The city. Originally grown as a dessert apple, it is now grown primarily for cider.

600-464: The name was originally Oldcastle in Part 1, it is disputed whether or not Part 2 initially retained the name, or whether it was always "Falstaff". According to René Weis, metrical analyses of the verse passages containing Falstaff's name have been inconclusive. Shakespeare's primary source for Henry IV, Part 2 , as for most of his chronicle histories, was Raphael Holinshed 's Chronicles ; the publication of

They go off, Falstaff vowing to find a wife "in

690-480: The play had been "sundry times publicly acted" before publication. Extant records suggest that both parts of Henry IV were acted at Court in 1612—the records rather cryptically refer to the plays as Sir John Falstaff and Hotspur . A defective record, apparently to the Second part of Falstaff , may indicate a Court performance in 1619. The earliest extant manuscript text of scenes from Henry IV, Part 2 can be found in

720-401: The play is elegiac, focusing on Falstaff's age and his closeness to death, which parallels that of the increasingly sick king.

There have been three BBC television films of Henry IV, Part 2 . In

810-686: The second edition in 1587 provides a terminus a quo for the play. Edward Hall 's The Union of the Two Illustrious Families of Lancaster and York appears also to have been consulted, and scholars have also supposed Shakespeare to have been familiar with Samuel Daniel 's poem on the civil wars. Henry IV, Part 2 is believed to have been written sometime between 1596 and 1599.
