Who Were Shakespeare's Twins?

Published in Biography 1 min read

Shakespeare did not have twins. He had three children with his wife, Anne Hathaway: Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith.

  • Susanna was born in 1583.
  • Hamnet was born in 1585 and died in 1596.
  • Judith was born in 1586.

While Hamnet's death at a young age is widely believed to have deeply affected Shakespeare, there is no evidence that he ever had twins.
