William Shakespeare

Person   Born 23/4/1564 Died 23/4/1616

Categories: Poetry, Seriously Famous, Theatre

Born and died in Stratford-upon-Avon. His birth date is often given as the 23rd, the same date as his death, but all that is actually known is that he was baptised 3 days later, on the 26th. The 23rd also happens to be St George's Day, for the patron saint of England. Neat.
