What did Shakespeare base Hamlet off of?
Belleforest's Histoires Tragiques (1570) contains an account of the Hamlet legend. This in turn is drawn from Saxo Grammaticus's Gesta Danorum from the early 13th century. Shakespeare, however, may not have based his story on Belleforest, but on an earlier play of Hamlet which has since been lost (which scholars call the Ur-Hamlet). Some people say that the German play Der Bestrafte Brudermord dated 1710 is a translation of the Ur-Hamlet.Belleforest inaccurately documented his source, calling Saxo Gramatticus's book Histoire des Danois or Historica Danica. Some people have used a patchwork of these inaccurate names to identify Saxo's work.

What is the date Hamlet killed Claudius?
It's not actual history, you know. There never was a King of Denmark called Claudius (that's a Roman name). The story in Saxo Grammaticus, the ultimate source of the story, is about a king called Horvendil and his queen Geruth. Horvendil is killed by his brother Feng, but he is avenged by his son Amleth. All this was supposed to happen in Viking times, but it is not exactly clear when. Around 700-800 A.D. one suspects. Shakespeare does not follow Saxo's story particularly closely, although there are interesting parallels.
