Death date

[edit]

The death date is given in two different forms in this article, once as 26 Mar 1676 and once as 5 Apr 1676. This appears to be a new style / old style issue? But it is confusing to the reader. I am unfamiliar with wikipedia style guidelines and do not want to change this myself. However, it seems to me that adding n.s. or o.s. would be helpful if it is deemed necessary to retain this apparent discrepancy. Of course, on the dates in question, old style would be the expected form. Wjifkri (talk) 14:41, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added a reference to the correct date, which is 6 April 1676 old style, and corrected the text. Sswonk (talk) 21:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
