Answer:

The best definition of a vagabond is a shiftless or disreputable person

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Elizabethan Era the Puritans saw actors as untrusty and terrible people who were just wondering around and eventually they were considered vagabonds and rogues, being an actor and being found wandering around the land without "a job" was considered illegal and they were punished, that made them find Kings and Queens' protection from government, one of the biggest protector of actor was Queen Elizabeth.
