  1. Well, we only have a good guess Shakespeare was born today based on his baptismal date.

    Shakespeare did die on this day in 1616, the same day and date as Cervantes.

    1. This is as accurate as possible I suppose. I don't know why History Channel would use the date without something to back it up. I decided not to include the deaths in a vague attempt to be upbeat today. :) And you've worked Shakespeare into written conversation so I give you a "gold star." :)
