Did William Shakespeare ever get married?

Answer 1

An 18-year-old William Shakespeare married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway in November 1582. At the time, she was pregnant with his child.

Little is known about Anne, but many believe she was the daughter of Richard Hathaway, a farmer from Shottery, a village near Stratford-Upon-Avon.

The Hathaway family home is preserved as a tourist attraction "Anne Hathaway's House", by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust which also maintains several other buildings connected to Shakespeare.

Over the course of their marriage, the two had three children; Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith -- the latter two being twins. However, their only son, Hamnet, died when he was only 11. Anne herself died in 1623, outliving her husband by seven years.

Answer 2

His wife's name was Anne Hathaway, and he married her presumably because he liked her. He liked her so much that he was carrying his child at the time they were married. (Or at least we presume it was his child)

Answer 3

Yes, she was pregnant before they got married

Answer 4

Bun in the oven. Anne was already three months pregnant with Susannah.

Answer 5

Definitely so!

Answer 6

He most probably did since they married.
