October 4
1518 A treaty was signed
between France and England that included a betrothal between Princess Mary and
the young dauphin François.
1535 the first English translation of the entire
bible was printed, with translations by Tyndale and Coverdale.
1582 the
Gregorian calendar was reformed. To
adjust the inaccuracy in the date caused by an extra day per century in the
Julian calendar, Pope Gregory XIII ordered ten days to be subtracted from
October of 1582. The calendar jumped from October 4 to October 15 and the new
Gregorian calendar, used today, was devised.
