@HPluckrose I’ve an odd question of historical curiosity which your academic focus might just touch upon. Let me know if you’re willing.
Cant trust the date on almost any document from around that time. Have to consult records for geographical area & estimate .

So, they basically went through a bit of chaos and then decided that the new Saturday was as good as the old?

The vast majority of ppl far too focused on own lives & far too accepting of overall authority of church to be too bothered, yes.

Thanks much. Not too far from my thinking, I suppose. I appreciate the response and your time.

You prob know New Year changed then too? So we can't be sure the year is right? No, most common ppl didn't care much.

Right. The New Year went from near the Vernal Equinox to its current place near the Solstace. Do I have that right?

It was Lady Day -25th March until 1752 in England but Jan 1st at various other times in various places.

'Lady Day'. Huh, something to look up later.
