Who wrote Shakespeare

"Who wrote Shakespeare" by Terry Deary presents 10 claims about who might of been the real author of Shakespeare's plays. After Shakespeare death professors couldn't believed that he had the brain or the education towrite all these plays. A priest named James Wilmot was the one who started wondering if Shakespeare actually wrote everything that was claim to be by him. The priest eventually when to Stratford to see if he could find any records ahout Shakespeare,  but he couldn't find any letters by him or any book he owned. He was the one who first started the suspicions of who actually wrote all the plays.
    Here are the ten possibilities of who might of wrote Shakespeare. The first os Queen Elizabeth I, one of the claims argues that Queen Elizabeth I could be the real author. "The queen loved drama. But women and upper class people couldn't beseen to write something as common as a stade play". What this means is that there is a possibility that the queen gave what she wrote ti Shakespeare because she had the education to write the plays. This theory was disaplrove because there was no way she could of continue writing after her death. Another claim argues that Anthony Bacon the brother of Sir Francis Bacon wrote the plays or even Sir. Francis himself. The two brothers were said to have writing these plays because one visited the French King's court,  and the other knew a lot about laws and about the French king's court. This claims were also disapprove because the brothers knew nothing about theater and one of then wasn't in England when the plays were being performed. William Stanley and Christopher Marlowe claims were also disapprove because Christopher was murdered in 1592 because he was in trouble for his spying activities.  In the case of William Stanley there were no records of a Stanley play being performed because people often write plays that don't get performed.
   As much other people try to prove that Shakespeare didn't write all these plays it would be really hard because they most have evidence to prove their claims.
