What was the name of Shakespeare's son?
William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway had three children, Susanna and the twins Judith and Hamnet. All were raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. Unfortunately, Hamnet died (the reason is unknown) when he was just 11 years of age, but his twin sister lived until 77.
