(424) Why Shakespeare didn't leave his wife his "second best house" (of his 5 residencies)?

To whom did Shakespeare leave his "best bed"?

Shakspere's Will, page 3:  belated insertion   to my wife " my second best bed

The fact that William Shakspere (Stratford) in his will left his wife nothing else than a bed seems to be a greater problem than the problem why only the "second best" bed. -

.....an even bigger problem is why "the second best bed"  as well as the rings to  "Heminges & Condell" (s.next blog) were inserted so belatedly in a finished text.

As long as a Shakspere  authorship problem is generally denied, very likely a more profound background of the true scribe  of  Shakspere's will (s.Blog 426) as well as the  (allegoric) meaning of the strange belated insertions  will never be discussed,  
 .
