- John Shakespeare (1530 - 7 September 1601) was a glovemaker and leatherdresser in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England, in the 16th century. He was the father of William Shakespeare. It has been suggested that John Shakespeare was a Catholic. On one occasion he was fined by Queen Elizabeth's government for refusing to attend Protestant services; this could indicate recusancy, or one of several other reasons for resisting the state's sponsorship of Anglicanism. Shakespeare's signature appeared on an oath prepared by the English Jesuits Robert Parsons and Edmund Campion, who secretly visited Stratford-Upon-Avon and other towns in Northern England to minister to its Catholics in the early 1580s. The oath swore that the signer would "remain a Catholic in his heart." The signing of this oath would automatically attain for the signator the grace of Extreme Unction upon his death, in the event that a priest was unavailable to give Last Rites, an event which the Elizabethan persecution of priests made likely. A minority of scholars claim that Shakespeare's signature on the oath was a forgery. As the signed document was not discovered until the 18th century, it is difficult to judge their claims one way or the other.
