I remember some time before the internet, and there was so much less knowledge available freely. I assume Shakespeare came from a well to do family, but how did the knowledge of this historical event stay available up for him to hear about it?

As an addendum to my post: that last point is one of the reasons why I will never respect the idea common among Internet leftists that the catholic church used to be good or that protestantism is inherently worse. The medieval catholic church not only opposed by violence the notion that the word of God should be translated or available for all to read, they also resisted by violence the demand that they do their one fucking job (Administering the sacraments and reading the bible to anyone who didnt have a title)
