What is the name of the Welsh parson in 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'?

The Welsh parson in “The Merry Wives of Windsor” is Sir Hugh Evans.

Sir Hugh Evans is a Welsh clergyman whose speech and nationality contribute to the play’s comic texture. He becomes involved in the competition over Anne Page, trying to help Master Slender win her hand. Evans asks Mistress Quickly to assist with the courtship, but Doctor Caius discovers the plan and challenges him to a duel.

The duel never takes place as intended. The Host of the Garter Inn tricks Evans and Caius by sending each man to a different meeting place. Once the deception is revealed, the two rivals set aside their quarrel and eventually cooperate in seeking revenge on the Host. Evans therefore functions both as a comic suitor-maker and as part of the play’s network of misunderstandings.

Sir Oliver Martext is a curate mentioned in “As You Like It,” not “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” Sir Topas belongs to “Twelfth Night,” and Sir Nathaniel is the curate in “Love’s Labour’s Lost.” These names are plausible Shakespearean distractors, but Sir Hugh Evans is the only Welsh parson among the options and the character identified that way in the play.
