Fun fact, expanding the Spain/England remark of misaligned calendars from the article:
Cervantes and Shakespeare died on the same date, but not the same day. They died 10 days apart. [1]

- alberto_ol 3y agoCervantes was buried on April 23 but he probably died on April 22. Shakespeare almost certainly knew Cervantes beacuse there is a lost play attributed to Shakespeare based on an episode in Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote. Probably Cervantes never read a Shakespeare's work. https://www.folger.edu/blogs/shakespeare-and-beyond/shakespeare-and-cervantes-400-years/ https://www.folger.edu/blogs/shakespeare-and-beyond/shakespe... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Cardenio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Cardenio
