Edward II is a Renaissance or Early Modern period play written by Christopher Marlowe. It is one of the earliest English history plays. The full title of the first publication is The Troublesome Reign and Lamentable Death of Edward the Second, King of England, with the Tragical Fall of Proud Mortimer.
Christopher Marlowe was alive in 1585.
The text mentions that Edward II was an early Modern play, but the text doesn't explicitly say when that time period was and the birth/death dates of Marlowe are never mentioned. Therefore, if we're really being precise we can't say for sure (without using external knowledge), whether he was alive or not at the period of interest. It's difficult because the system has trouble identifying when someone was alive and what that means exactly.
