George Peele
George Peele had a Master of Arts degree from Oxford University, which he noted in the signatures of most of his works as a poet, playwright, and translator. His plays include The Arraignment of Paris, Edward I, The Battle of Alcazar, The Old Wives' Tale, and David and Bethsabe, and several pageants. He is also believe to have written The Troublesome Rein of John, King of England, and portions of William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and Henry VI trilogy.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
