William Shakespeare was born in April 1564, the oldest son
of John Shakespeare. His father, a glover, trader, and
landowner, married Mary Arden, the daughter of an affluent
landowner of Wilmcote. John Shakespeare was ambitious, and
he filled many municipal offices in Stratford including
that of burgess, which privileged him to educate his
children without charge at the King's New School in
Stratford. He rose by election to the position of Alderman
in 1565; and in 1568 he was elected Bailiff (equivalent to
mayor), and in that year he made an application to the
Herald's office for a grant of arms. In his position as
Bailiff he was responsible for licensing companies of
actors who applied to play in the Guild Hall.
A strong, tight web of evidence shows that a real person
named William Shakespeare wrote the poems and plays
attributed to him; that a real person named William
Shakespeare was an actor in the company that produced the
plays attributed to him; that the actor was the same
William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon; that William
Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was part-owner of the
Globe Theater, where his acting company produced the plays
attributed to him; and that those who knew the writer of
the plays and poems knew that he was William Shakespeare of
Stratford-upon-Avon. He was so successful that in 1596 he
successfully renewed his father's application for a grant
of arms, and the following year he bought and restored New
Place, the second-largest house in Stratford. As a member
of London's leading theater company, the Lord Chamberlain's
Company, he wrote plays and eventually became a sharer in
the Globe theater. The evidence is cumulative and
interconnected, and taken as a whole it leaves no doubt
