April 15 in royal history:
April 15, 1367 - Birth of Henry IV at Bolingbroke Castle
Henry's birth date seems to be different in various resources. I've seen April 3, April 4, April 15, and May 30 and the years 1366 and 1367. Historian Ian Mortimer wrote an article about this topic. I'm not able to access the whole article, but the abstract http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... x/abstract says, "The date of Henry IV's birth has proved problematic for two key reasons. The failure of any contemporary chronicler to note the date is one. Another is the assumption that medieval people assigned their birthdays to a specific calendar date. This note argues that Henry IV was born on a moveable feast Maundy Thursday 1367 and celebrated his birthday accordingly. In addition, it suggests that the origin of the custom of the sovereign's age-related donations, on Maundy Thursday, lies in Henry's own attempt to draw attention to the fact that he, like Richard II, was born on a religious feast day." In 1367, Maundy Thursday was April 15, so I am going with that date.
