> 1147 - Ash Wed is Mar 5, Quadrag. Sunday is Mar 9; Easter April 20.
> 1148 - Ash Wed is Feb 24, Quadrag. Sunday is Feb 28
> 1149 - Ash Wed is Feb 16, Quadrag. Sunday is Feb 20
> These are old style...
now i'm getting confused.
just to take 1147 (since that seems to be the year of interest), a French
charter dated March 5 of that year (n.s.) would also carry the year 1146,
because the year began on Easter --i.e., April 20, 1147.
so, for France at least, the annual dates for Ash Wednesday are "new style"
--are they not?
