No. That only happened in Shakespeare's hopelessly distorted and highly fictionalized play. Think modern Hollywood movies take liberties with the facts for the sake of a roaring good story? Bill was the original spinmeister, spinning whatever would sell a ticket! His "historical plays" are a study in drama, not history. If he were living today Bill would probably be a Hollywood tycoon putting Spielberg to shame!
