  Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, they had 3 kids and a set of twins, 1 of the twins died at 11. 7 years after his twins were born he disappeared from all legal documents in 1588. He showed up again in 1592 this was also known as The Lost Years. He established himself as a actor and play writer this caused a lot of people to be jealous because he was so young and talented.
