Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (28 October c. 1466 – 12 July 1536), commonly known in English as Erasmus of Rotterdam or simply Erasmus, was a Dutch Christian humanist, Catholic priest and theologian, educationalist, satirist, and philosopher. Through his works, he is considered one of the most influential thinkers of the Northern Renaissance and one of the major figures of Dutch and Western culture.

Not unlike a number of other prominent Renaissance figures-Pope Clement VII, Leonardo da Vinci, Don Juan of Austria, to name a few-Erasmus' birth and early childhood are somewhat obscured by the unhappy fact that he was born out of wedlock.
