Queen Elizabeth's impact on Shakespeare; it sounds interesting!!

We all would know that William Shakespeare was born at Stratford-upon-Avon to John and Mary Shakespeare in 1564. We also would know that he obtained the patronage of the Queen as a play write. But.. still there are things to be known...

When Shakespeare was eleven years old, there was a great plague in the country. Queen Elizabeth journeyed out of London to avoid the plague's consequences and stayed for several days at Kenilworth Castle near Stratford enjoying "festivities" arranged by her host Lord Leicester. It is probable these events may have made a strong impact on the mind of young William.
