Very true, but as he wrote his will before he died, she was still his wife at that point.
And, no, she only got the second best bed.

Did Shakespeare have any other close relatives apart from his wife/widow (Anne Hathaway?) or daughter Judith. Another daughter, perhaps?

Not sure what happened there, I tried to include some quotes.
Not his bank/debtor (or even a creditor)
and yes, he had other close relatives

His brother?

Did he have a brother?
Genuine question, but if he did, he didn't get the bed.

William Shakespeare had several brothers, I believe. But they pre-deceased him, so I guess they wouldn't have got the bed.
Several sisters died young, think that just one outlived him. So if not the other daughter (the one that wasn't Judith), maybe it was his surviving sister that got the "best" bed.

Near enough to claim the duvet on a cold night.
Will's eldest daughter Susannah (Hall) inherited the bed, so the daughter who was not Judith is the correct answer.
@Mcr Warrior, your call.

An easy one...
Which English County were the first winners of the inaugural official County Championship cricket competition, and a bonus point for the year in question.

OK, staying with cricket, but adding football into the equation. Which English towns / cities have a county cricket ground, but don't have a team in the Football League / Premier League ?

Taunton, Worcester, Canterbury, Chelmsford, Chester-le-Street and possibly Gloucester although I think they play at Bristol.
