Best Answer

His first biographer, writing about 100 years after Shakespeare had died, said he did. However, the details of the story he tells do not really add up. Most scholars nowadays treat the story as a romantic fabrication.

What foods can you poach?

Chicken eggs are commonly poached throughout all of the US and the UK. However, if by 'poach' you mean steal from somebody's land, then it could be any edible creatures, such as rabbit, hare, deer (venison), grouse, pheasant, et cetera.

What are some untrue legends told about William Shakespeare?

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.


Why was Shakespeare arrested?

There's no record of Shakespeare going to jail. This is not to say that he couldn't have, just that we have no reason to think he did. The old legend about him being a poacher has no basis in evidence.
