William Shakespeare was born in 1564.

There is no known record of the actual date of his birth but the date of his baptism was on Wednesday, April the 26th, 1564. Most notable historians agree with the assumption that Shakespeare was indeed born in 1564 and, using the Bard's baptism date, guesstimate that he was born three days earlier on St. George's day. As there is no conclusive proof of this it is often accepted that his birth is simply left at the year.

hope this helps
