Hey, it is Shakepeare's Birthday. Or rather his deathday. He died on April 23, 1616. As he was Christened on the 26th of April, 1564 and Christenings were generally 3 days after the birth it is accepted that the birthdate is the 23rd. It provides a nice symmetry to his life.
Birthdates were not recorded.
