Greetings Listers I know Elizabeth I began her reign in 1558. However, I'm not quite sure which year according to our calendar that '7 Jan 12 Elizabeth' is. Is it 1570? Maybe 1571? Can someone help me please? Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Elizabeth ascended the throne on 17 November 1558 so the first year of her reign ran from that date to 16 November 1559. The second year from 17 November 1559. The 12th year of her reign would have started on 17 November 1569 which means 7 January 12 Elizabeth would have been 7 January 1569 because the new calendar year began on 25 March http://www.britroyals.com/reigned.asp -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/

Further to my previous posting, if you go to http://www.genproxy.co.uk/king_queen_reign_dates_regnal.htm you can enter the day, month, monarch and regnal year of an event and it will convert the data to the calendar year, including the correction from the Julian to Gregorian calendars.
