By Shakespeare? Almost certainly not, but 1) it was found in a volume labeled Shakespeare in the library of Charles II, and 2) C. F. Tucker Brooke included it in his 1818 Shakespeare Apocrypha as one of 14 possible plays that could be attributed to Shakespeare. At any rate, it is a decent comedy with William the Conqueror in disguise, and Fair Em not what she appears to be either. - Summary by ToddHW
