Hamnet

I'm not sure how Hamnet died, but it was several years
earlier.

Incidentally, the twins Hamnet and Judith were named after
Shakespeare's next door neighbours Hamnet and Judith. The
similarity between "Hamlet" and "Hamnet" is coincidence.
(Though, of course, it was a piece of serendipity that
Shakespeare would have enjoyed.)
