wo problems with checking the day of the week of perpetual calenders for
dates that far back.  In 1582 Gregory XIII fixed the calender by droping 10
day from a year That year the day following Oct 4, 1582 became Oct 15, 1582
This was immediately adopted by Catholic countries of Europe: Italy,l
Spain, Portugal, and France. Most of Europe had accepted it by 1700 but
Britain lagged behind There was and 11 day difference between britons dates
and the rest of the world.  They fixed the problem in sept of 1752 the next
day after Sept 2, 1752 was Sept 14, 1752 so the day's of the week prior to
1752 may depend on where you were at the time. Information from The Riddle
of Time by Thelma Harrington Bell
