Good list.
Of course, since prior to 1582, when the Gregorian calendar was implemented, years only consisted of 355 days, the dates don't match up as well as they appear.
In other words, Nov. 30 in 1292 was probably more like Dec. 10th on the Gregorian Calendar.

Thanks for the info. I get this from a medieval trivia list I'm on. I thought maybe some people might find this interesting like I do. Thanks for commenting.
