William Shakespeare spent considerable time and money obtaining a grant of arms for his father. That meant that his father had his own personal coat of arms which William (being the eldest son) would inherit on his death. It also meant that he could call himself "Mr. William Shakespeare" or "William Shakespeare, gent."; without the grant of arms he was plain "William Shakespeare."
