Biography

The father of Rosalind and the rightful ruler of the dukedom in which "As You Like It" is set. Having been banished by his usurping brother, Frederick, Duke Senior now lives in exile in the Forest of Arden with several loyal men, including Lord Amiens and Jaques. We have the sense that Senior did not put up much of a fight to keep his dukedom, for he seems to make the most of whatever life throws at him. Content in the forest, where he claims to learn as much from stones and brooks as he would in a church or library, Duke Senior proves himself to be a kind and fair-minded ruler.
