He was an English poet, actor and playwright and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men,later known as the King's Men; widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language.

At the tenderage of 18, he married (26 year old) Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith.
