Originally William Shakespeare's theater company was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. In which Shakespeare not only wrote the plays for but was also seen to be an active actor. This company was founded in 1594 under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I by the patronage of Henry Carey known as the Lord Chamberlain (hence the original name). Chamberlain was in charge of all the court entertainments. His death in 1596 resulted in his son, George Carey, to take his place as the company's patron. George was also known as the 2nd Baron Hunsdon which led to Shakespeare's company to be renamed to Lord Hunsdon's Men until he became the new Lord Chamberlain in 1597. When Queen Elizabeth I passed away, King James took the throne and became the new patron. So, in 1603 the company's name was then changed to the King's Men.
