William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest playwright of all time. Many facts about his life remain shrouded in mystery. He lived during the reign of Elizabeth I and James I and coined hundreds of phrases we still use today. He was born near April 24, 1565 to John Shakespeare a glovemaker and wool merchant and to Mary Arden, a daughter of a well to do landowner. He was married at 18 years of age to Anne Hathaway who was 26 years of age. She was 6 months pregnant when they were married. She was the daughter of a local farmer. They were married on November 28 1582. They had a daughter, Susanna and then two years later she had twins, Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died when he was 11 years old.
