He had never been to university or ever traveled abroad, so where did he suddenly get the education to be able to write plays about such varied subject matter? Many his plays include detailed knowledge about royal court. So how did lowly out of town Will get to find out so many accurate details about what life in a royal court was really like?

Where did he learn? Libraries were popping up all over Europe during the middle ages. He could read, he was already involved in theatre where he picked up stories, characters, details of courtly life.

Geoffrey Chaucer was the son of a wine merchant.

The middle class had and still has a tendency to both patronise the arts and to educate their young as a means of advancing the family.

So to say Shakespeare hadn't the education to accomplish what he did, is wrong.
