Holland's Leaguer
''Holland's Leaguer'' is a Caroline Era stage play, a comedy written by Shackerley Marmion. It premiered onstage in 1631 and was first published in 1632.〔James Maidment and William Hugh Logan, eds., ''The Dramatic Works of Shackerley Marmion: With Prefatory Memoir, Introductions and Notes'', London, H. Southeran & Co., 1875.〕 The play was a popular success and a scandal in its own day — scandalous because it dealt with a well-known London brothel.
=="Leaguer"==
In its literal sense, the term "leaguer" refers to a military encampment; Shakespeare uses the word in this original sense in ''All's Well That Ends Well'', Act III, scene 6, line 26: "the leaguer of the adversaries." By the 1630s the word had become a slang term for a whorehouse, as here in this play, or in the 1640 play ''The Knave in Grain''.
