Sir Walter Raleigh or Ralegh[1] (c. 1552 - 29 October 1618), was a famed English writer, poet, soldier, courtier and explorer.
William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616)[a] was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist.[1] He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviving works consist of 38 plays,[b] 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.[2]

What are some untrue legends told about William Shakespeare?
1. William Shakespeare did not write his plays. This is the most obviously untrue and yet most persistent of such legends. 2. William Shakespeare was a personal friend of Queen Elizabeth I. Again, obviously untrue. Players did not associate with queens. 3. William Shakespeare was the leader of a playing company. No, he was a member, but Richard Burbage was the leader. 4. William Shakespeare was responsible for the construction of the Globe Theatre. No, that was Burbage. Shakespeare only loaned him some money. 5. Shakespeare had to leave Stratford because he was accused of poaching deer belonging to Sir William Lucy. Apart from the lack of evidence for this romantic tale, Lucy did not keep deer. 6. Shakespeare was Thomas Betterton's father. Since the only source of this dubious tale is Betterton himself, for whom it would be a considerable financial benefit, we can easily dismiss it.
