The fact that Shakespeare was censored (for perceived insensitivity toward a Protestant martyr) has been entirely glossed over by scholars. It does suggest that he had a mind of his own on the subject, yet it makes you wonder what the real Oldcastle was like.

In King Henry V, Falstaff dies before Agincourt, but Oldcastle actually was burned at the stake around 1417.
