His twins were baptized in 1585 and Shakespeare traveled to London in 1592 but historians do not know what he did during the time between those years. Therefore, historians call it Shakespeare's Lost Years'.  A popular myth about his time during the years says that he poached deer on his landowners estate so he left to go to London to get out of punishment. Others say that during those years, he was attending school, becoming a soldier, or was working.
