Birth date

The date is given as "14 September 1275/6" this could mean 1275 or 1276, and is thus meaningless. If the source gives the date as a regnal year, please state which on this talkpage and I will convert it to the correct calendar year. If the source is ambiguopus, some one needs to investigate its source. For dates in January to March (as with the death date), the usual historical convention is to give the date as if the year started on 1 Jsanuary, and I think the WP MOS adopts this.

I've changed the date to 14 September 1276, citing Richardson. NinaGreen (talk) 19:58, 8 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
