Detailed explanation-1: -The Troublesome Reign and Lamentable Death of Edward the Second, King of England, with the Tragical Fall of Proud Mortimer, known as Edward II, is a Renaissance or early modern period play written by Christopher Marlowe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monarchy, Legitimacy, and Loyalty.
Detailed explanation-3: -Christopher Marlowe’s play is more sympathetic to Edward than is his major source for the story, the history Holinshed’s Chronicles (1577; 1587), which denounces the King’s weakness and infatuation with Gaveston.
Detailed explanation-4: -Edward II is a play about homosexuality, the abuse of power and a quarrelling court. Filled with song and poetry and heart and guts, it is a violent, sumptuous and altogether thrilling ride, set in the period of Edward’s rule, but with a contemporary edge.
