>Will at centre of legal battle over Shakespeare’s home unearthed after 150 years

What a confusing title. I read it as the home being unearthed after 150 years and that there was a will involved in an active dispute over this newly unearthed home.

dwattttt•5mo ago
There are more absurd interpretations, when you remember that his first name was William.
convnet•5mo ago
They had to dig up Ole William to get his side of the story
krapp•5mo ago
Preferably with a lawyer delivering a soliloquy while holding Shakespeare's skull in one hand.
clbrmbr•5mo ago
it's a brilliant title that's both technically correct and extremely misleading!

I thought it implied that there was an ongoing legal battle over the home and some original will that upsets those proceeds had been found underground. That'd be a very dramatic story!

Instead, there was a legal battle long in the past, and this was the will that was submitted to the government at the time, and kept in the archives. They make no mention of whether Shakespeare's original will survives. It's basically hey look at this document from the old archives that somebody thought was might be of historical value so they put it in a box but really doesn't change anything. It's just available online for the first time.

userbinator•5mo ago
I've noticed that UK news in general seems to like these sorts of headlines.
djmips•5mo ago
It's a headline and it requires a skill to interpret.
bryanrasmussen•5mo ago
I think there would need to be some punctuation for that interpretation to make any sense.
supportengineer•5mo ago
Are living relatives still fighting over the home?
lentil_soup•5mo ago
The article says it was demolished in the 1700s
jhardcastle•5mo ago
To summarize the article, I think...

A will was rediscovered that was written by Shakespeare's granddaughter's husband, who never owned the home, stating that his cousin should get the house.

The husband died first, the granddaughter (who actually owned the house) remarried, and the cousin never got the house. The granddaughter later died, and the home was demolished shortly thereafter, almost 350 years ago, and at least 200 years before this legal document was last in the news.

dr_dshiv•5mo ago
I was thinking of a Google News competitor that rewrites original headlines — so they are in the readers best interest — based on the content of the article. So, no clickbait, minimal confusion and more learning from merely reading the headline itself.
sema4hacker•5mo ago
I've often wished for a "headline corrector", where clickbait like "Coroner announces cause of death for Celebrity X" transforms to "Celebrity X died of a fentanyl overdose" and then I can decide whether to click through or not.
aspenmayer•5mo ago
I don’t know of one for Google News, but there is DeArrow for YouTube.

https://dearrow.ajay.app/

> DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

Edit:

Found this, which does claim support for Google News:

https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist

https://ublacklist.github.io/subscriptions

I’m not sure if these are compatible with uBlock Origin, but some of them seem to be.

The demo gif is pretty clear on what it does and how it works, but it only makes it easier to block domains from the looks of it. It doesn’t actually rewrite titles which was your request.

dr_dshiv•5mo ago
Yes, exactly like that.
plasticsoprano•5mo ago
I fully recommend Bill Bryson’s “Shakespeare: The World as Stage”. I don’t have a lot of interest in Shakespeare but I love Bryson and gave this book a chance. Like most of his books it is super fascinating and entertaining. We know so little about Shakespeare including the fact we don’t actually know what he looked like.
bn-l•5mo ago
That was great.

Absolute favourite of his is “one summer” about America in the 1920s. It’s a masterpiece.

gsinclair•5mo ago
And “A short history of nearly everything” should be considered required reading for anyone who is interested in anything.

Thanks for the reminder of “one summer”. I haven’t read that yet.

plasticsoprano•5mo ago
One summer is amazing. Who knew so many monumental things happened that year?
ahazred8ta•5mo ago
> don’t actually know what he looked like

His effigy was carved by a sculptor who lived around the corner from the Globe theater, so he probably got the likeness right. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gheerart_Janssen_(sculptor)#Ni...>
