Short answers, pulled from the story.
Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway on the 27th of November 1582. He was eighteen at the time and she was twenty-six. Their daughter Susanna was born six months after the wedding, and twins Hamnet and Judith followed nearly two years later.
Shakespeare's will left Anne Hathaway "the second best bed with the furniture" as her specific bequest. Many historians argue the second best bed was the marital bed, since the best bed in a household was traditionally kept for guests. The law at the time also automatically entitled a widow to a third of her husband's estate.
The Fair Youth is a young man addressed in 126 of Shakespeare's sonnets, published in 1609. The sonnets are dedicated to a "Mr W. H.", and the two most frequently proposed candidates for his identity are Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton, and William Herbert, the 3rd Earl of Pembroke.
Many scholars have argued the sonnets express desire for both men and women. Sonnets addressed to the Fair Youth include lines such as "dear my love" and "master-mistress of my passion", along with erotic wordplay. Other scholars maintain these passages reflect the idealized platonic friendship common in Renaissance literature rather than sexual attraction.
In 1640, publisher John Benson released an edition of the sonnets in which he changed most masculine pronouns to feminine ones, making the poems appear to be addressed to the Dark Lady. Benson's altered version remained the dominant text for over a century, until Edmond Malone republished the original in 1780.
In March 1602, lawyer John Manningham recorded in his diary that Shakespeare overheard a woman arranging a meeting with actor Richard Burbage and arrived at the woman's home before Burbage could. When Burbage came to the door, Shakespeare sent word that "William the Conqueror was before Richard the Third." Some scholars are skeptical of the anecdote's accuracy.
