Detailed explanation-1: -William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes both died on the 23rd of April in 1616.
Detailed explanation-2: -This means that it’s unlikely that Shakespeare was born any earlier than the previous Sunday, 23 April. Given that three days would be a reasonable interval between birth and baptism, 23 April has therefore come to be celebrated as his birthday. Shakespeare also died on 23 April; in 1616, when he was 52 years of age.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare’s burial is recorded in Stratford’s parish register on 25 April 1616. We do not know the cause of Shakespeare’s death. He made a will on 25 March, almost a month before he died, in which he describes himself as ‘in perfect health & memorie, god be praysed’.
