What were William Shakespeare's children called?

Answer 1

Just six months after their marriage Anne and William became the parents of their first daughter - Susanna Shakespeare Anne and William's twins - Hamnet and Judith, were born two years after Susanna.

Shakespeare's children:

SUSANNA SHAKESPEARE
>Susanna was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon.
>She was illiterate so she would not have attended school or received an education which customary for most girls in the Elizabethan era.
>The first we hear of Susanna is on May 5th 1606 when Susanna was named as a recusant for not attending an Easter Day Church service.
>Susanna Shakespeare was 24 years old when she announced her betrothal to Dr. John Hall who also lived in Stratford-upon-Avon.
>Susanna and John Hall were married on June 5th 1607.
>It was a good marriage - William shared some business ventures with Dr. Hall.
>Susanna gave birth to a baby girl eight months after her wedding to Dr. John Hall.
>Shakespeare appointed John and Susanna executors of his will.
>Dr. Hall and Susanna inherited and moved into New Place after Shakespeare's death.

HAMNET SHAKESPEARE
>Hamnet Shakespeare, twin to Judith, was raised in in his grandfather's house in Stratford-upon-Avon.
>Little is known about the life of Hamnet/
>There are no records that show that Hamnet Shakespeare attended a school but it would have been customary for a boy of Hamnet's background to have received an education.
>Hamnet sadly died at the age of just 11 years old. There were constant outbreaks of the Bubonic Plague, during Elizabethan times and in 1596 Hamnet caught and died of the deadly disease.
>Hamnet Shakespeare was buried in Stratford on August 11th 1596.

JUDITH SHAKESPEARE
>Like her sister, Susanna, Judith was raised in Stratford-upon-Avon .
>Judith was also illiterate.
>The first we hear of Judith is when she is betrothed to Thomas Quiney, a vintner and tavern owner from Stratford-upon-Avon.
>William would have initially approved of the betrothal as Quiney came from a good family .
>Judith married Thomas Quiney on February 10th 1616. Judith was 31 years old and Thomas Quiney was 27 years of age.
>William Shakespeare's initial approval of the marriage would have quickly changed when he discovered the scandalous news that Thomas Quiney had made another girl pregnant, nether-the-less the marriage went ahead.
>But there were more problems! A special licence necessary for all weddings during Lent - Quiney did not get one!
>The situation was so serious that on March 12th Judith and Thomas were excommunicated!
>On March 26th Thomas Quiney was prosecuted for 'carnal copulation' with a woman called Margaret Wheeler. ( She had died in childbirth along with her baby by Quiney)
>Thomas Quiney admitted his guilt and was sentenced to perform public penance. This penalty was , however, lessened to a small fine of five shillings and private penance
>William modified his Will on March 25th 1616 to ensure that Judith would inherit a sum of money (£300) in her own name. Quiney was left out of the Will and Shakespeare left the bulk of his fortune to Susanna!

His life is full of mystery and so it follows that there have been persistent rumours that he was father to an illegitimate son, William Davenant , son of the wife of the proprietor of Crown Tavern (or Town Inn) in Oxford where Shakespeare stayed while away from his family. Davenant was a Playwright, Theater Manager and a Poet.♥

Answer 4

I'm so glad The Analyst has taken such a positive view of England's (and possibly the world's) greatest ever writer. I'm not quite sure how she derived the fact that he was miserable..........did she meet him in the pub one evening ?

Anyway, the answer to your question is William Shakespeare had three legitimate children. Susanna was born in May 1583, six months after the wedding of Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare. The baptism of Susanna Shakespeare took place in Stratford Parish Church on May 26th 1583. Two years later in 1585 Anne and William's twins, Hamnet and Judith Shakespeare, were born. The baptism of Hamnet and Judith Shakespeare took place in Stratford Parish Church on February 2nd 1585.The twins were named after two very close friends of William and Anne, the baker Hamnet Sadler and his wife, Judith.

There are rumours of illegitimate children but, to my knowledge, these have never been substantiated.

William Shakespeare had three children. Susanna was born in May 1583, six months after the wedding of her parents Anne Hathaway and William Shakespeare. The baptism of Susanna Shakespeare took place in Stratford Parish Church on May 26th 1583. Two years later in 1585 Anne and William's twins, Hamnet and Judith Shakespeare, were born. The baptism of Hamnet and Judith Shakespeare took place in Stratford Parish Church on February 2nd 1585.The twins were named after two very close friends of William and Anne, the baker Hamnet Sadler and his wife, Judith. These were the three legitimate children of the Bard.

None of the grandchildren survived to adulthood - so there are no direct descendents of William Shakespeare.
