William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616. Some references indicate that William Shakespeare was 51 when he died on April 23, 1616, three days before his fifty-second birthday.

However, there is no official record of his birth and the exact date is not known. There is a record of his baptism on April 26, 1564 and it was customary for a baptism to take place soon after birth, although not on the date of the birth.

It is often said that he died on his birthday but this can neither be confirmed or denied. William Shakespeare died at the age of 52 on the 23rd April 1616.

William Shakespeare, writer, (baptised April 26th, 1564 birth date unknown, died April 23rd,1616) lived in England. He was born in Stratford-on-Avon. His grave is in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church, the parish church of the town and parish of Stratford-on-Avon. The register of the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-on-Avon records that he was buried there on 25th April 1616, two days after his death. That church also records his baptism there. So presumably he died in Stratford-on-Avon, his home town. For more information about Shakespeare's life, see Related links below this box.

The time around 1616 might be called the English Renaissance (although rather late for that) or the Jacobean Age (after King James).
