Miguel De Cervantes (wrote Don Quixote) and William Shakespeare, died on the same day, 23rd. April 1616.
Cervantes was born 23rd. April 1547. Shakespeare (I think) was born 23rd. April 1564.
President Nixon fessed up to his role in Watergate.
NO-one interesting (apart from me) was born.
Apparantly, no-one died.

Ooooh, I shall have to try this. I know that I share a birthday with Henry VIII (I'd better tell Sappho to watch her step if she wants to keep her head!).
Nice to see FB worked Shakespeare's birth (and death) date into things! :inlove:

I do share an important date with him!
Poor old Henry VIII doesn't get a mention but Queen Victoria and Edward IV were both crowned on my birthday.
All very royal! :smug:
Will
I saw it before you corrected!
It also says on there that Queen Victoria ascended to the British throne in 1938 on your birthday - 37 years after she died :shock:
Singer Stedman Pearson of Five Star fame was born on the same day as me.
Never again will I change stations when one of their records comes on the radio!
