Now I really am confused! To George/Carolyn or whoever else does the careful and humorous work of putting together the saints' days for each day complete with colour commentary: Where did the September 2 date for St Stephen of Hungary come from? I thought I was puzzled enough, as per my post a few weeks back, about why Stephen was feted on August 20 in Hungary but, at least now, on August 16 in the universal (Roman) calendar. Sigh, I always knew hagiography was so difficult only the patient Belgians could attempt to sort it out. :-) BTW, I think it was easier for Stephen, in the pre-information age, to go about incognito than for Princess Di. The story is also told about the just King Matthias of Hungary (of Corvinus library fame), so it obviously had become a bit of a stock plot by that time.
