Legendary playwright, poet and actor William Shakespeare is believed to have been born on this day in history, April 23, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shakespeare’s exact date of birth was not recorded, says the website for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust \u2014 but his baptism at Holy Trinity Church<\/a> in Stratford-upon-Avon was documented as taking place on April 26, 1564.<\/p>\n

“No records of births and deaths were made in those days. We do, however have records of his baptism<\/a> on (April 26th 1564: Gulielimus, filius Johannes Shakspeare) and of his burial on (25th April 1616: Will Shakspeare, Gent),” says the website for Holy Trinity Church. <\/p>\n

As both his baptism and funeral occurred at Holy Trinity Church, “it can be fairly safely assumed that he worshiped here as a boy and young man, and again after he retired to his home town,” says the church’s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The date of his baptism is another clue as to Shakespeare’s birthdate, says the website for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Baptisms typically took place within three days of a new arrival, and parents were instructed by the Prayer Book<\/a> to ensure that their children were baptized no later than the first Sunday after birth,” it said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As April 26, 1564, was a Wednesday, this means the earliest date of Shakespeare’s birth could have been April 23, noted the website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Given that three days would be a reasonable interval between birth and baptism, 23 April has therefore come to be celebrated as his birthday,” said the site.<\/p>\n

Shakespeare’s parents were John and Mary Shakespeare<\/a>, notes the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust website; he was the third of eight children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was the oldest surviving male child, said the site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From age seven until his mid-teens, Shakespeare attended grammar school in Stratford-upon-Avon.<\/a> He married his wife, Anne Hathaway, in November 1582, says the same source.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of their wedding, Shakespeare was 18 \u2014 and eight years younger than his 26-year-old bride, says the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.<\/p>\n

Hathaway and Shakespeare would go on to have three children: Susanna, born in May 1583, and twins Hamnet and Judith in February 1585.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hamnet died at age 11, in August 1596, said the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.<\/p>\n

In the 23-year period between 1590 and 1613, Shakespeare wrote at least 38 plays<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is believed to have collaborated on others, says the website for the British Library.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also published a book of more than 100 sonnets in 1609, said the British Library.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By 1592, Shakespeare had established himself as a playwright of note in London.<\/p>\n

He had written “Henry VI Part 1,” “Henry VI Part 2,” “Henry VI Part 3,” “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” and “Titus Andronicus” by then, says the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As with many details about Shakespeare’s life, it is unclear which play he wrote first, said the trust.<\/p>\n

Shakespeare is believed to have died on April 23, 1616, on what was possibly his 52nd birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following Shakespeare’s death in 1616, actors from his works collected manuscripts and published them in 1623 as the “First Folio,” says the trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The “First Folio” contained 36 of Shakespeare’s plays.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
