Religion: was Shakespeare raised Catholic? | OUPblog

In 1784, Jordan reported that, nearly 30 years earlier, a bricklayer had discovered a pamphlet in the rafters of the building we know as “Shakespeare’s Birthplace.” It was a formulary for any member of the “holy Catholic religion” who might find himself on his deathbed without a priest to perform the last rites. The pamphlet lacked a first page, but Jordan called it the “Spiritual Last Will and Testament of John Shakespeare.” Each article of faith indicated that “I, John Shakespear, do protest,” or “pardon,” or “pray,” as ordained. Because the pamphlet was soon lost, we do not know whether a single hand had written the entire text, whether a second hand had filled in pre-devised blanks with John Shakespeare’s name, or whether the closing subscription was an autograph. (If so, it would have been the only known instance of a John Shakespeare signature; in all other documents, he signed with a mark.) The editor Edmond Malone published a transcript of the pamphlet, but sceptically, and he eventually concluded that it had no connection to “any one of our poet’s family.”

New discoveries about John Shakespeare: financial ruin and government corruption | OUPblog

A golden age for some, crooked and dishonest for others? Perhaps William Shakespeare grew up thinking this way about Elizabeth I and her ministers as disaster befell his father.

...by 2018 we had uncovered over twenty new manuscript references to John Shakespeare among the Exchequer writ files. It was clear that in 1573, John Shakespeare’s troubles were only just beginning. Two cases and one man, the professional informer James Langrake, ensured that the Exchequer pursued John for debt into the next decade, by which time his business and credit were ruined and his son William a grown man...

...Ultimately nothing changed, and William Shakespeare grew up knowing that the government treated local men without influence in very different ways from the entrenched back-scratching of the Court and the Westminster bureaucracy. As so many of his plays attest, justice, power and corruption were never far from the creative imagination of a playwright who had experienced this uncertain world first-hand.
