    Apparently Shakespeare and Cervantes died on the same DATE but not the same DAY!

    Deaths:
    1616 - William Shakespeare, English playwright and actor
    1616 - Miguel Cervantes, Spanish author. Note that though Shakespeare and Cervantes died on the same date, they did not actually die on the same {day;} as England had not yet adopted the Gregorian Calendar and so was eleven days out of step with the Spanish calendar.
