Detailed explanation-1: -William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway in November 1582 and they remained married until Shakespeare’s death. At the time of their marriage William was 18, while Anne was 26-and pregnant with their first child.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hathaway’s parents named her after an illustrious predecessor. The first notable Anne Hathaway was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, and is remembered as the wife of that town’s most famous sometimes-resident, William Shakespeare.
Detailed explanation-3: -Very little is known about Anne and William’s relationship. All we can say with certainty is that they married, had three children together, Susanna, Judith and Hamnet, and they remained married until Shakespeare’s death in 1616. Upon his death, Shakespeare left his ‘second best bed’ to Anne in his will.
