Birth
& early life
Miguel de Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares, a Castilian city about 15 miles from Madrid,
probably on September 29 (the feast day of St.
Michael) 1547. The probable date of his birth was determined from records in
the church register. He was baptized on October 9.[2]
Miguel's father Rodrigo was a barber-surgeon,
who set bones, performed bloodlettings, and attended "lesser medical
needs".[5]
His mother was the third daughter of a nobleman, who lost his fortune and had to
sell his daughter into matrimony. This led to a very awkward marriage and
several affairs on the father's part.[6
