William Shakespeare famously left his "second best bed" to his wife. This may not have been as chintzy as it sounds as that may have been their marriage bed and of great sentimental value (and no small monetary value either). It would have been her right, through English Common Law, to one-third of his estate as well as residence for life at New Place, so he did not have to provide for her upkeep in the will, only offer gifts of a sentimental nature.
Scholars have argued whether this was an insult or a compliment.
The insult - second best - may be obvious, but the second best bed would probably have been their marital bed as the best bed would be reserved for guests. This may have been an expression of his affection.
