Cute, but... Juliet was invented. She had nothing to do with history in the first place, and only the chatterati think she did.

My hobby is discovering how much of Shakespeare's writings were based on actual events, and how much was fiction. So far I found about 65% fact and 35% fiction.

I know Shakespeare didn't write all the plays that bear his name, but I'll let someone else dig into the details of that question. 🙂
