    In his will what did Shakespeare leave to his wife?

    Question #91640. Asked by star_gazer. (Jan 27 08 2:54 PM)


    BRY2K

    		The only mention that Shakespeare specifically makes of his wife (Anne) was to leave her his "second best bed."

    It is, however, understood that it would have been her right, through English Common Law, to one-third of his estate as well as residence for life at New Place
