Shakespeare is most famous for his work as a playwright, having crafted more timeless classics than we have time to name drop in this video. Whether this tragedy had an impact on Shakespeare's most famous tragic work Hamlet has been a matter of much debate. Sadly, Hamnet died at the age of 11 in 1596. Nevertheless, the couple had two more children, twins Hamnet and Judith.


This scandalous timing, among other evidence, has suggested to some historians that their marriage was provoked by the pregnancy, not a passion fit for Shakespeare's own work. They were married just six months before the birth of their first child, Susanna. Did Shakespeare have a family? In 1582, Shakespeare was married to Anne Hathaway- not that one- the daughter of a local landowner who was eight years senior to the 18-year-old bard. But it also belongs to a person who had a life outside his famous works. SPEAKER: The name William Shakespeare is synonymous with great literature.
