If you mean "where did he get his ideas?" he got them from older plays he had seen (Hamlet, King Lear, Taming of the Shrew), and books he had read, especially Holinshed's Chronicles (the history plays) and Plutarch's lives (the Roman plays).
Shakespeare wrote the tragedy "Hamlet" between 1599 and 1601. The play is set in Denmark, and tells the story of Prince Hamlet, who tries to get revenge on his uncle, because he murdered his father. Many people think that Shakespeare based Hamlet on the legend of Amleth.
There was also an old Elizabethan play named "Ur-Hamlet", which has now been lost. This is thought to be the biggest source for Shakespeare.
Some believe that Shakespeare may have been inspired by the death of his own son 'Hamnet' when writing 'Hamlet.' His son was only 11 years old when he died, and as his only son, Shakespeare was probably deeply upset. Suggestions have been that the grief and loss that Shakespeare was feeling was put into the tragedy. If so, it is peculiar that he would have expressed these feelings four or five years after Hamnet's death but not in such plays as Henry IV Part I or The Merry Wives of Windsor which he wrote shortly afterwards. In all likelihood the connection with Shakespeare's son is entirely based on the coincidental similarity of the names Hamlet and Hamnet.
The inspiration to Shakespeare to write King Lear was the publication of the True Chronicle history of King Leir and his three daughters Gonerill, Ragan, and Cordelia. Shakespeare would create his Master piece 10 year later from the inspiration of this piece.
