There weren't any that we know of. The facts of Shakespeare's childhood are not well-known. It is thought that his father, who at first was financially prosperous, became poorer in his later years. Yet this hardly qualifies as an event.

Did any events in Shakespeare life reflect in his plays?

People would desperately love to find connections between Shakespeare's life and events in his plays, but unfortunately the answer is almost certainly no, the events in Shakespeare's plays have nothing at all to do with the events in his life. Shakespeare borrowed the main plots of virtually all his plays from somewhere else, often from older plays. He did, of course invent episodes for dramatic purposes. An early example is the scene in Henry VI Part 3 where a man discovers that he has killed his father, who was fighting on the other side, and another man discovers that he has killed his son. Shakespeare added this scene to dramatise how civil war can break up families, but Shakespeare did not kill his father nor did his father kill him. To the best of our knowledge, Shakespeare never fought in a war. He invented the scene from his imagination. Some people try to connect the death of Shakespeare's son Hamnet with things Shakespeare wrote. No such connection is feasible. Shakespeare did start to write more tragedies and darker comedies at about the time the Globe Theatre was built, but this was three years after Hamnet's death during which time Shakespeare had been writing some of his most joyous and carefree comedies. It is much more plausible that the change in mood reflected a change in the national mood as the Queen neared death, and the question of succession to the throne was a worry to everyone. The desire to match events in the plays with events in Shakespeare's life may account for the "authorship controversy". For some people, if the events in Shakespeare's life cannot be matched up with the events in the plays, then it becomes necessary to propose someone else as the author whose life can be used in this way. But the truth is that the critical school that holds that in order to understand the literature you must minutely examine the life of the author is the real problem here. Although it may give insight into the works of some authors, in other cases it doesn't and Shakespeare is one of those. His plays are perfectly enjoyable and immensely deep and wide-ranging without the audience or reader knowing the first thing about him. Such critics need to acknowledge that his genius was that he was quite able to imagine the feelings, motivations and concerns of people caught in situations which he himself had never experienced, and to express them in an astonishingly vivid way.
