What was the population of London and who was the ruler when Shakespeare first came to London?

There is no accurate account of when arrived in London. We know he was already established by 1592 as an actor and playwright. Queen Elizabeth I was the monarch at that time. It is estimated that London had a population of 200,000 in 1600; so one can surmise that it was somewhat less in 1590, which would be a reasonable guess for Shakespeare's arrival.

Did willam shakespeare live in the vitorian times?

No. William Shakespeare lived from 1564 to 1616. Queen Victoria ruled from 1837 to 1901, and her reign is what could be called "Victorian times." Basically you are at least 220 years off. Shakespeare's death was as long ago when Queen Victoria came to the throne as Queen Victoria's coronation is now. It's like saying that Washington was the President of the US on September 11, 2001.


What kind of family did William shakespeare come from?

Shakespeare came from a middle-class family. His father John was a glover (he made gloves and other things from fine leather) and was a figure in municipal politics. Later in life, his business began to fail, leading to a decrease in prosperity but not of class. Shakespeare worked hard to retroactively raise his father's social status by getting him a grant of arms (his own coat of arms) which would raise him to the minor gentry.


Which king of England gave his acting company the title of the king's men?

It wasn't a king at all, but the Elizabethan actor Richard Burbage, who ran the original London Theatre in Southwark and was a close collaborator with William Shakespeare. The title may have been meant to be ironic, as when the company was most active England was not ruled by a king at all but by a QUEEN, Elizabeth 1st! However, when she was succeeded by King James 1st in 1603, the title came to have a more genuine relevance.
