William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor, he was awarded for being the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. William Shakespeare is his real name but some prefere to call him Engalnd's national or The Bard of Avon (the greatest poet that ever lived). William's home country and birth was in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. His death place was in Church of Holy Trinity it was believed he died on his birthday no one was quite sure so we celebrate it on Stratford-upon-Avon 23rd April 1616 (aged 52) after falling ill. He was born 26th April 1564. His exact birthday was not recored in history but around the world its recored on the 26th April. Shakespeare wrote about 37 palys, two narrative poems and 154 sonnets (a poem with fourteen lines). Nowadays people call it the shakespearean sonnets because it was so popular back then.

William father's name was called John Shakespeare and mother was Mary Shakespeare. Emund was the yougest brother he arrived when william was 18yrs he became an actor just like william unfortunately he died in 1607 ending his career.

On the 27 November 1582, Shakespeare got married at the age of 18 to Anne Hathway 26yrs old by the time she was 3 months pregant to their first child. Six months later they gave birth to their daughter Susanna and two years later to twins Hamnet Shakespeare and Judith Shakespeare.

These all all his legiamate children from the same father and mother.

HIS DOWNFALL To Being VICTOURIOUS
Shakespeare play immediately became a big thing in the Elizabethen era he wrote many plays like


 * Tradey - Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet
 * Comedy- Twelth Night and The Taming Of The Shrew


 * History-Henry IV, Henry V and Richard III

His plays were played in the theatre comany called Lord Chamberlain's Men but after a argument with the landlord they took the building apart. They rebuilt it across the river and named it the Globe. Shakespeare became very rich and bought some houses in London and Stratford-upon-Avon. Even the Queen at that time (Quuen Elizabeth I) and James VI of Scotland would often hire Shakespeare's company to come and peformat the royal court.

REMEMBRANCE
Shakespare is highly remembered today and his famous plays and quotes. His life is surely recorded in history. One my favourite quotes of his is ' All that glitters is not gold'
