BBC: Was Shakespeare French?

Archaeologists excavating Shakespeare's final home in Stratford have unearthed the remains of an inscribed locket, apparently given to William by his mother Mary Arden.

Naming her son as Guillaume, and herself as Ardenne, Mary inscribed the locket with the date of execution of Mary Queen of Scots, giving further credence to the theory that Shakespeare's "lost years" may have been related to political Catholicism.
