Here are my three points:
1. Who was Shakespeare's sponsor?
> Technically, King James I of England should be Shakespeare's sponsor. He was fond of arts and brought Shakespeare's acting company under his patronage. King James I also granted Shakespeare's company a Royal Patent and changed their name from the Lord Chamberlain's Men to the King's men.

2. Shakespeare was baptized three days after he was born.
> Confirmed, he was guessed to be born three days before he was baptized on April 26th, 1564, in the Holy Trinity Church.

3. What was Shakespeare's favourite colour?
> Unfortunately, there is no historical evidence that recorded his favourite colour, or any other of his likes and dislikes. At that time, it seemed irrelevant to write about these things. In fact, we barely know.anything about what he did as a child.
