Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire. He was baptised on the 26th April. Although the actual date of Shakespeare's birth is unknown, it is traditionally observed as the 23rd April as this is both St. George's Day and the same day on which Shakespeare died. This date can be traced back to an eighteenth century scholar's mistake.
