The website you linked to does not mention who the property went to, but it shows Shakespeare gave away around £500 in cash. The average house today costs $250,000.00, but Shakespeare bought the best place in town, rather upscale. So let's say that £60 purchase would be equivalent to $350,000.00. So a British pound back then would be worth around $5800.00 in today's dollars. So the equivalent of £500 would a little under $3 million. And that is just the cash. It does not take into account of the property which is not mentioned in the will, but would have been distributed according to English common law.
So, we have established that Shakespeare died a very wealthy man. And his wife would have been spent her last days in great material comfort.
I couldn’t make any judgement until I could get an idea of the rate of exchange about which you gave me some idea. Thank you.
I hope she enjoyed William’s second best bed. (I had to throw that in. I laugh everytime I think about it.)
My best regards.
