Now THIS is a nifty little gadget for us historical type peeps....tis a perpetual calendar.  All you have to do is select a month, change the year, & you'll know what day of the week it was for all the important Tudory stuff   Halloween in 1521 was a Thursday, FYI

I've got a cardboard one where you twiddle  bits of it about and it gives you the day of the week, but it only goes back to 1753.

Why's it just grind to a halt in the middle of a decade like that?
 
OK Tudor Game Time
 
Pick an important Tudory date & go see what day of the week it was & come back & tell us....I shall start because I thunk of it LOL
 
August 22, 1485....Battle of Bosworth....ooooo bad start to the week there for RIII, twas on a Monday
 
Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is full of woe.
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving.
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

We could see if Tudor peeps' BDs fit the above  <wonders if MQOS was born on a Wednesday>

Who wants to play next?

OK, Greensleeves, MQOS' birthday 12-8-1542 was a Friday.  Her Maries probably would say she was loving & giving...once again, I find myself posting about her ...I swear, ask anyone in my family, Anne Boleyn & Richard III are my top 2 favorite historical characters, but if you count the books on my shelf, MQOS comes in a close 3rd, just before Marie Antoinette & Empress Alix of Russia.  Maybe I just like folks with tragic endings.  What does that say about me??

Ref # 4. It's only a cardboard thing that's not sophisticated enough to handle the 11 day change in the calender in 1752.

Ohhh I forgot about that whole Julian/Gregorian mess in the 18th century....can see why that wouldn't translate well to cardboard.  If you're really bored, you can discover on what date Easter Sunday fell in Tudor times over HERE as well.
 
OK one of my more favorite minor Tudor players, Sir Nicholas Carew, was executed on March 2, 1539, after being snagged in the Exeter net.  That was a Sunday!  You could kill folk on a Sunday?   Alas Nick didn't make it to Easter that year as it was April 6th.

Nearly forgot....he did end up with a nice tomb at least, according to Find A Grave HERE.

Catherine's BD of Dec 14, 1485 rings true....twas a Wed & she surely was full of woe
