Occupation; play writer, actor and poet Died; 23rd April 1616 William Shakespeare was born on the 23rd 26th of April 1564; historians arent to positive on the date, however he was born just outside of London in a town called Stratford-upon-Avon. Very little is known about Williamss childhood. He was the 3rd child out of a family of 6 children; he had two older sisters and three younger brothers, Williams father was a successful leather merchant which once held the public position of alderman (one step from becoming a mayor) William Shakespeare attended a local grammar school where he studied Latin, Greek, History, English and poetry. The school now is called King Edward VI grammar. There are no real documentations on how Shakespeare lived in however he was living in the Elizabethan era. The Elizabethan era was the reign of Queen Elizabeth the 1st, her reign lasted 45 years. So in this era the living conditions for anyone was poor, if you were to walk out of your house it would be nothing but cobble stone paths and poo infested gutters since they threw all their bodily waste out the window. The men, women and children hardly ever bathed and cleaned themselves but the rich; they did it often as they had a higher power over the fellow villagers. The houses in the city were clumped side by side and were always untidy. But for Shakespeare and his family they were middle class, which meant that they were neither rich nor poor, William attending a grammar school shows this. Shakespeare is very famous for what he did, he is known for his outstanding play and sonnets and his acting. He in fact came up with 1700+ words and phrases we use today i.e. the word hint and the phrase for goodness sake
