Is it true that when Shakespeare died he left his wife his second best bed and nothing else?
Only partly. The second-best bed was the only thing Shakespeare left to her in his will. However, a widow had considerable rights to a share in her husband's estate (called rights of dower) which meant that she was well-provided for whether he said so in the will or not. Indeed when Shakespeare was buying property in Blackfriars, they went through a complicated legal scheme involving a mortgage for the purpose of keeping the property out of the dower settlement. Make of that what you will.
