Maybe more complicated than just this year[edit]

"Byrd obtained the prestigious post of Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in 1572"--it seems that he may have been one of the chapel gentlemen already when he was at Lincoln, before 1572.[1] and [2].--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 04:25, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

The references here are not consistently formatted at present. I will be making them them as consistent as possible whilst working on the article, which I intend to take to GA and beyond. Amitchell125 (talk) 18:38, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good to hear! Article has some decent foundations to begin with, but I'm not convinced that the current combining of music and life sections is optimal for either topic. It is particularly limiting for the musical content, which would do better sorted into genres than specific pieces. Aza24 (talk) 20:14, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dates[edit]

England still using the Julian Calendar at this time. 4 July 1623 Julian = 24 June 1623 Gregorian. 82.46.163.160 (talk) 18:37, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
