William Shakespeare's will is famous because the only mention that Shakespeare specifically makes of his wife was to leave her his "second best bed", this might be a bit of a shock to some people, but in all actuality it was a very nice gift to give , knowing that she already got 1/3 of everything he already owned.

Shakespeare also gave some money in a trust for his other daughter Judith, as well as a silver-gilt bowl.
