Shakespearean characters are lying undiscovered and forgotten

The discovery of Richard III's grave in Leicester makes me wonder how many other great Shakespearean characters are lying undiscovered and forgotten.

One thinks of Sir John Falstaff (Henry V and The Merry Wives of Windsor) who was actually Sir John Fastolf and is supposed to be buried in the ruins of St Benet's Abbey in Norfolk.
