No one knows the actual birthday of William Shakespeare. Anne Hathaway was eight years older than him and was pregnant when they got married. His father, John, was a money lender. A relative of his mother was executed for plotting against the Queen at the time. He and his company built two globe theaters.
Shakespeare never published any of his plays. His family were all illiterate. His father was the Mayor of Stratford. He is known to have an illegitimate son named William Davenant. Not one picture was painted of Shakespeare when he was alive.
Most of Shakespeare's poems plays were only published seven years after he died. He left his wife the "second best bed" in his will. No girls were in his plays, not even to play the female roles. No one knows how he died, but it is suggested that it as kidney disease, murder most foul, and too much to drink. The ceiling of his stage was called "The Heavens".
