Subject: Murder of Gonzago
Anybody know this one? I know that Shakespeare A-Z refers to an actual
murder of a Gonzago, along the lines of what we see in the play. It was
presumably good Elizabethan tabloid-fodder, but I too have yet to see
specific evidence.

John Robinson writes,
Does anyone have any info on the Murder of Gonzago play mentioned
In Hamlet? Did the play ever really exist, or did Shakespeare make
it up to suit his purposes?
Can anyone suggest references? Thanks.
The question is one that arises from time to time:

There's also some discussion of the question at:

If you get better answers, let us know, too.
