Note: William Shakespeare often appears on lists such as this, but as his birthdate is unrecorded (what is commonly given as his birthdate was extrapolated from the date of his baptism), he cannot be given a definite place on this list. Similarly, Jewish tradition records that both Moses (tractate Sotah 12b) and King David (Bechor Shor, Shabbat 30b, based on Midrash) died on their birthday according to the Hebrew calendar (7 Adar and 5 Sivan, respectively). Similarly, according to Islamic tradition Prophet Muhammad died on his birthday in the lunar Islamic calendar, 12 Rabi' al-awwal.
