Shakespeare was born in 1564 and was baptised on April 26th. Although we don't know for sure when his actual birth date is, it can be surmised to be the 23rd as it was common for Elizabethan children to be Christened three days after their birth. There is some controversy over this however, as this wasn't the case with every birth. Some have argued that the April 23rd birth date was arrived upon to match Shakespeare's date of death; 23rd April 1616. Also, some say, it is more than a coincidence that the most famous English playwright should be born on the date of the English patron saint..
