I also find it really confusing from these two sites:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1490
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/index.html?year=1490&country=9
One says that January the 1st fell on a Saturday and the other on a Friday! What is going on?
I also calculated myself that it should fall on a Friday, but would Wikipedia be wrong? That is what I am unsure of.
Relating to my first question, is there any way to determine which weekday the 1st of January will fall on for any year?
Thank you for your help!

Yah_ra: You have got the answer to be totally different to the weekday on Wikipedia and also to my calculations, but I will take a look at the perpetual calendar, and it also says that it should be a Monday....

My research using a perpetual calendar placed 1.1.1487 on a Saturday. The only way that it would make sense for the dates to read otherwise would be that someone made a change in the manner of counting after that date. The usage of a perpetual calendar is probably the best way to determine which weekdays any day has or will fall on.

Just find one of those 'World Almanacs' and look at the Perpetual Calendar they all have.Very easy to use and even a little fun.ever wonder what day of the week an event was? Look there.
