Early Years
William Shakespeare was born in 1564. His birthplace is Stratford-upon-Avon. His birthplace is located in Central England on the River Avon. He started school at around 6 or 7 at Stratford grammar school. It must've been hard living with 7 other siblings in one house don't you think?
Adulthood
Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway in 1582. He married her when he was 18 and Hathaway 26. They had 3 children, Susanna, Hamnet and Judith (2 girls, 1 boy). Hamnet was Shakespeare's only son and unfortunately, died at the age of 11 due to bubonic plague. Shakespeare built the Globe Theatre in 1599. It burned down in an accident during one of the scenes of a play being performed there. The cause of the fire was a cannon. It was rebuilt in June 1614 and closed in 1642.
