Used during the Middle Ages The rest of Europe used the Julian calendar

Gregorian Calendar
Gregorian Calendar was adopted in 1583
Several flaws with old calendars Julian Calendar exceeded the true solar year
by 11 minutes and 14 seconds The calendar did NOT compensate for this
Leap day every 3 years, not 4 Great Britain did not adopt the Gregorian
calendar until 1752 On Wednesday, it was September 2nd, but on the
next day, Thursday, it became September 14th
