Shakespeare famously left his wife, Anne Hathaway, his 'second best bed'. But why? Furniture refers to the curtains and bedcover, which formed part of the complete bed. This bequest is not as unusual as it might seem, and it's unlikely to have been intended as the snub that it appears to us today.Dec 3, 2015
