Shakespeare's will
William Shakespeare's last will and testament was signed on 25 March 1616, just under a month before his death. The document has been used by many scholars and biographers to deduce details of his personal life and opinions. The best-known passage from the will is the bequest to the wife of his "second best bed". The significance, if any, of this phrase, has been much debated. The will has also been used as evidence of his attitudes towards his two daughters, Susanna and Judith, and their respective husbands, John Hall and Thomas Quiney
