Garmumbles is evidently Mümpelgart, and the value of the allusions lies in the circumstance that they fix the date of the play as very soon after the Duke's visit to Queen Elizabeth in 1592. His account of the country is a curious and interesting one, and he was the first Duke of Teck known in England. 123 SHIRLEY (Henry) the Martyred Souldier: As it was sundry times. Acted.
