According to wikipedia:: "Jones and Penny, pp. 1 and 246. He died on his 37th birthday; according to different sources, his birth and death both occurred on Good Friday. The matter has been much discussed, as both cannot be true." However, 28 March 1483 and 6 April 1520 both were on Good Friday (the Gregorian calendar was not introduced until 1583).--Dirk P Broer 19:39, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
