William Shakespeare was baptized on April 26, 1564. He was born a few days earlier. It is almost always assumed that his actual birthday was April 23, 1564. This happens to be the feast day of St. George and people like to think that England’s greatest writer was born on the day dedicated to England’s patron saint.
