  In Shakeseare's day, it was nothing to ask another plawright to write a play with you. This co-operation, known as 'collaboration', was endemic througout this Tudor and following Jacobean period.
  Shakespeare is known to have collaborated on several plays, his own and others, throughout his entire writing history. One of his first plays, the comedy "The Two Gentlemen of Verona", was written by another, the Portuguese playwright Montemajor. Henry V was well known in play form, well before Shakespeare's effort. Henry V was followed by "As You Like It", related to Shakespeare by the playwright Thomas Lodge, who called it "Rosalind".  After he had retired from playwrighting, and taken up the living of a parish in  Gloucester, Shakespeare rewrote it, the heroin is Rosalind! As You Like It" was followed by "Hamlet", which had been kicked around for FIVE centuries before Shakespeare noticed it. It was writen by a Danish scholar, Saxo Grammaticus, who had taken, as his central character, Amleth, who was, and still is, a Danish folk hero. It is only a simple matter of transposing the "H" in front of the "A" to get the new title "Hamlet".
