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.

Why did scholars think Shakespeare was a fraud?
No scholars think Shakespeare was a fraud, or ever did. Some fringe theorists think that the scholars are frauds for insisting that the William Shakespeare who wrote all those plays and poetry is the same person as the William Shakespeare who was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, was married, had kids, owned property and died there, and also owned property in London, where he was well known as an actor and member of a theatre company and was close friends with the other members of that company, which happened to be the only company which ever performed the plays attributed to William Shakespeare. These theorists claim that the plays and poetry were really written by someone else who for some reason allowed them to be published under the name of Mr. Shakespeare who, along with most of the London theatre community of the day, were involved in a huge conspiracy to keep this secret. No coherent reason is ever given for why anyone would do that.
