We don't know much about Shakespeare's early life but we can tell you this:
On this day in 1582, William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, pay a 40-pound bond for their marriage license in Stratford-upon-Avon. Six months later, Anne gives birth to their daughter, Susanna, and two years later, to twins.
So happy anniversary to the man who gave us "Romeo and Juliet".
