William Shakespeare

William was the third of eight children and the first Baron Shakespeare. Shakespeare studied at The King's New School of Stratford-upon-Avon. Between 1585 and 1592 but is to assume that Shakespeare had spent some years of his life reading the works that later became sources for many of their arguments. In 28 November 1582, William Shakespeare, at age 18, he married Anne Hathaway. She had 26 years and was the daughter of a prosperous farmer from Worcester. At six months was his first daughter was baptized in Stratford-upon-Avon on 26 May 1583 under the name Susanna. Two years later, on 2 February 1985 were born the twins Hamnet and Judith. The boy died at 11 years of age and Judith reach adulthood, casant up with Thomas Quiney in 1616 just months before his father's death. It is unknown what caused the transfer of the family but from 1592 are written references to his career as a writer in London. Also in 1592 the plague had ravaged the city of London and all the theaters had to be closed. The reopening of the theaters in 1593 would be crucial for the theatrical career of Shakespeare.
The 1596 Shakespeare lost his only son Baron, Hamnet of 11 years, was buried in Stradtford-upon-Avon. The loss of the child is remembered by Shakespeare in some verses of his historical drama King John. The purchase of one of the best houses in Stratford-upon-Avon from Shakespeare to 1597 shows that economic prosperity at that time already enjoyed the playwright. When John died in 1601 and William Shakespeare inherited the coat of arms of the family. 1607 to the great Shakespeare's daughter was married to the doctor John Hall in Stratford in 1608 and was born Elisabeth Hall, the only granddaughter who survive. Mary Shakespeare died in 1608 and was buried with all honors in the family mausoleum. It is believed that from then Shakespeare was increasingly moving away from the bustle of London and retired to Stratford-upon-Avon. Al died in 1613 only the three brothers that were in William. His youngest daughter, Judith were married in Stratford in February 1616 with that of Thomas Quiney who retains the only letter addressed to Shakespeare. Two months later, it is assumed that on 23 April, Shakespeare died to be buried on the 25th at the Church of the Holy Trinity.

In addition to the engraving appeared in the First Folio, the statue of this monument is the only image that has been Shakespeare.

Irish Rebelition

Since 1691 and the end of the Williamite war, Ireland had chiefly been controlled by a Protestant Ascendancy constituting members of the established Church loyal to the British Crown. It governed the majority Irish Catholic population by a form of institutionalised sectarianism codified in the Penal Laws. In the late 18th century, liberal elements among the ruling class were inspired by the example of the American Revolution (1776-1783) and sought to form common cause with the Catholic populace to achieve reform and greater autonomy from Britain. As in England, the majority of Protestants, as well as all Catholics, were barred from voting because they did not pass a property threshold.
When France joined the Americans in support of their Revolutionary War, London called for volunteers to join militias to defend Ireland against the threat of invasion from France. Many thousands joined the Irish Volunteers. In 1782 they used their newly powerful position to force the Crown to grant the landed Ascendancy self-rule and a more independent parliament ("Grattan's Parliament"). The Irish Patriot Party, led by Henry Grattan, pushed for greater enfranchisement. In 1793 parliament passed laws allowing Catholics with some property to vote, but they could neither be elected nor appointed as state officials. Liberal elements of the Ascendancy seeking a greater franchise for the people, and an end to religious discrimination, were further inspired by the French Revolution, which had taken place in a Catholic country.

American Colonies Independence
The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies
In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
