Can you tell me which saint shares his birthday with Shakespeares?

April 23, traditionally believed to be Shakespeare's birthday, is Saint George's day. However, that does not mean that it is Saint George's birthday. Saint's days are the anniversary of their deaths, not their births.


What day do scholars think shakespeare was born?

Shakespeare was baptised on April 26, 1564. He was in all likelihood born less than a week earlier. The date of April 23 is plausible and has the added merit of allowing Shakespeare's date of birth be the same as his date of death and of allowing him to be born on St. George's day, since St. George is the patron saint of England.


What author lived at the same time as shakespeare?

Many many authors did. Christopher Marlowe was born in the same year as Shakespeare. Miguel de Cervantes died on the same date (but, curiously, not on the same day) as Shakespeare. Bacon, Spenser, Jonson, Descartes, and Milton all lived contemporaneously with Shakespeare.


How do we know when Shakespeare's birthday is?

We don't. William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and, at that time there were no official government records of births, marriages and deaths. There were church records of baptisms, weddings and funerals and there is a record of Shakespeare's baptism on 26th April 1564. On the assumption that the baptism took place within a few days of birth, Shakespeare's birthday is celebrated on 23rd April, which is the feast day of Saint George, Patron Saint of England.


Why might the date of Shakespeare's death be said to be a coincidence?

Because the day he died was the same day he was born, so he basically died on his birthday
