I would like to imagine that the Shakespeare of JSMN university did write a play about John Uskglass. If Chretien de Troyes had written a poem about Thomas of Dundale, Shakespeare should have written a play about John Uskglass, too. John Uskglass ruled for three centuries; that is a lot of materials to play with and choose from. And imagine what Shakespeare could do with John Uskglass's stories: fairies, magicians, witches, knights, terribly bad romances, some good betrayal and punishment plot, etc...

Even when Shakespeare of JSMN universe had not written a play about John Uskglass, John Uskglass would have probably be mentioned in many plays. Midsummer's Night Dream, for example. King Oberon was in it and even though the play was set before Uskglass was even born, there would probably be mentions of him as a foster child who would someday be very great. Maybe some references to John Uskglass in Macbeth? There are witches in the play so it is possible.
