1. William Shakespeare did not write his plays. This is the most obviously untrue and yet most persistent of such legends.
2. William Shakespeare was a personal friend of Queen Elizabeth I. Again, obviously untrue. Players did not associate with queens.
3. William Shakespeare was the leader of a playing company. No, he was a member, but Richard Burbage was the leader.
4. William Shakespeare was responsible for the construction of the Globe Theatre. No, that was Burbage. Shakespeare only loaned him some money.
5. Shakespeare had to leave Stratford because he was accused of poaching deer belonging to Sir William Lucy. Apart from the lack of evidence for this romantic tale, Lucy did not keep deer.
6. Shakespeare was Thomas Betterton's father. Since the only source of this dubious tale is Betterton himself, for whom it would be a considerable financial benefit, we can easily dismiss it.
