No one has been fully associated with William Shakespeare’s house at the will of a 1642, which has led to a re -discovery of a courtroom in the UK’s national archives. Legal records expert Dan Gosling found a will in a box of documents from the 17th century and earlier, a non -labeled Chancery Court document. It was first described by a Shakespeare scholar in the middle of the 19th century. He discovered it at the Rolls Chapel, which was recorded in the storage of a chancery document from 1484 to 1856 when the rolls were transferred to the new public record office building. Now we know that the real will was absorbed in national archives without any catalog.
The will was made by Shakespeare’s granddaughter Elizabeth’s husband Thomas Nash, who lived with her and her mother, her first wife, Shakespeare’s eldest daughter from Sasana Hall, in the house of a playwright in Stratford-Aun. Known as New Places, Shakespeare bought it in 1597 for a huge amount of $ 60. It was three stories high with the construction of wood and brick and contained 20 rooms, 10 fireplace, a courtyard and a capable property with two boards and a garden. It was the second largest private home in Streetford at that time, and obviously a very desirable piece of real estate. After his death in 1616, he left many of his possessions, along with his vast property, brought to his sons after his death, and in this case his daughter Elizabeth and his men were not sons.
For unknown reasons, perhaps because Nash mistakenly assumed that he would overtake his wife and his mother -in -law and somehow remove the entire question of Shakespeare’s complex involvement, he left the house on his cousin Edward Nash. Even if Thomas Nash did not know that a new space was consisting, at least to say that he was 59 years old at the age of his wife and mother -in -law, to think, it is very hopeful, when he was 59 years old in his wife and mother -in -law, and so on. Elizabeth was 34 years old.
When Thomas Nash died in 1647, legal confusion arose. Elizabeth and Susana had to get a settlement process to prove that they still owe the house with which they literally lived with all the other properties that Shakespeare wanted from his daughter. Edward Nash set up a roof and lost a house that he wanted by anyone who never owns it, and he filed a case against Elizabeth in the Chancery court.
“They say Thomas Nash’s will proved to be in Canterbury’s property court, and as Elizabeth Nash, Widow and Executoc, was obliged to adhere to the terms of the will and give Edward Nash a new place,” [says Dan Gosling.]
Elizabeth appeared in the Chancery Court to explain the land and his and his mother “My grandfather William Shakespeare” gave him more property. As part of the action, it was asked to produce Thomas’s will, as well as the document eventually ended in the Chancery Archives, which is now administered by national archives.
The result of the action is unclear, but, Gosling said, it seems that Edward never had to own this property. When Elizabeth passed away in 1670, after having no children and eliminating the direct line of Shakespeare’s descendants, Edward Nash will have the right to get a new place.
Gosling said, “They use these words ‘formally made to them’ as promised, which shows that some speaking procedures were created.” In the event, Edward has no recorded mention as the owner of New Place, who went to the wealthy landing claptan family after Elizabeth’s death and was demolished in 1702.
