Key Examples in Love's Labor's Lost
Setting
Explanation and Analysis:
Love’s Labor’s Lost is set in the Kingdom of Navarre, a real kingdom that existed in northern Spain on its border with France. Its geography meant that this kingdom had a complex history, as various French and Spanish rulers laid claim to parts of it throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The kingdom was split, and many parts of it were incorporated either into Spain or France by 1589. King Henry III of Navarre, a possible rough prototype for Ferdinand, joined northern Navarre with France in 1589 and ruled them both as a unified kingdom.
