Tragic king (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lear

'tragic king' is the definition.
(Shakespeare's King Lear)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lear that I've seen before include "Playful king and writer of nonsense verse" , "Shakespear's king" , "The Bard's foolish king" , "Edward, writer of nonsense verse" , "See 27 Across" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Star Tribune.
