Shakespeare Bed Bequest Deepens Wife's Portion Theory
A Sheffield lawyer argues Shakespeare did not insult his wife when naming the second-best bed in his will. The piece compares Shakespeare’s bequest to a 1605 example where a wife received only the best bed yet was fairly treated under common law. It notes the widow’s rights to a third of a husband’s goods and details how Shakespeare’s will allocated personal estate, showing the bed as a minor addition to his wife’s rightful portion.
