Who did William Shakespeare leave his fortune to?

In his will, Shakespeare left the bulk of his large estate to his elder daughter Susanna Hall, born Shakespeare. The terms instructed that she pass it down intact to "the first son of her body". The Halls had one child, Elizabeth, who married twice but died without children in 1670, ending Shakespeare's direct line. He left practically nothing to his second daughter, Judith Quiney, born Shakespeare. The Quineys had three children, all of whom died without marrying. Shakespeare's will scarcely mentions his wife, Anne Hathaway, who was probably entitled to one third of his estate automatically. He did make a point, however, of leaving her "my second best bed", a bequest that has led to much speculation. Some scholars see the bequest as an insult to Anne, whereas others believe that the second-best bed would have been the matrimonial bed and therefore rich in significance.

How long must a bequest last?

A bequest is a gift of personal property made under the terms of a Last Will and Testament. It doesn't take effect until the testator has died. A testator can make changes to her Will at any time before death. She can destroy the Will and write a new Will. She can destroy the Will and not write a new one. She can make changes to an existing Will by attaching a codicil that carefully explains the changes she wants to make. Once a testator has died the Will becomes irrevocable.

What was Shakespeare trying to attempt with history?

Shakespeare, and a lot of other authors of his time, were dramatizing history. By turning the stories of history into plays, and adjusting the facts to make them more dramatic, the audiences could learn about history in an interesting and memorable, if not entirely accurate way.
