Hunsdon's men



yet another event that take place (and this one suprised me since I don't recall hearing about it previously) is Henry first foray into artisitc patronage, by mounting the Hundson's men in 1564 before eventually disbanding them in 1567 (the most probable reason being that he got appointement in the marches around that time), source.  Although I did find one book that seem to indicate that the troops went through time of activity in between 1567 and the time he became Lord chamberlain.

Very little information about the troop exist( its due to several factor I presume, it was apparently one of little note, it apparently toured a lot and probably didn't do much of a paper trail and the fact that the one he establish as Lord chamberlain is much more famous, but it come in so much later that the connection are hard it) we don't even know who compose it.  The one man I've seen speculate as possibly being part of it is future lord chamberlain's men impressario James Burbage (source)

Ironically the troop was formed in 1564, same year of birth as Shakespeare, would eventually be part of the lord chamberlain men.
