George Peele

George Peele (baptised 25 July 1556 – death date uncertain) was an English translator, poet, and dramatist, who is most noted for his supposed but not universally accepted collaboration with William Shakespeare on the play ''Titus Andronicus''. Many anonymous Elizabethan plays have been attributed to him, but his reputation rests mainly on ''Edward I'', ''The Old Wives' Tale'', ''The Battle of Alcazar'', ''The Arraignment of Paris'', and ''David and Bethsabe''. ''The Troublesome Reign of John, King of England'', the immediate source for Shakespeare's ''King John'', has been published under his name. However most of the extant Peele records are financial and legal, and none expressly connect him with the canon that bears his name. Provided by Wikipedia
