The Merry Wives of Windsor is basically a fanfic
request. Shakespeare had just written Henry IV Part 1 which included a
character called Sir John Falstaff. No-one is sure how real he is, there was a
Sir John Falstaff from around that time and some people think the character of
Falstaff was based on him. Other people think he’s a mixture of three different
real people and some people think he’s a total invention.
