Just wondering: how can Cynesige dedicate Waltham Abbey around 3 May 1060 if he died on 20 January? Five months make a pretty big "around" to me. Ælfgar (talk) 06:36, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Pretty simple, somewhere along the line, the month of his death got changed - it should have been December 1060, not January. Fixed. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Thank you! Now I can finish translating the article for the French Wikipedia.  Ælfgar (talk) 14:38, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Another detail: according to Alex Woolf, the two bishops of Glasgow consecrated by Cynesige were Magsuen and John, not John and Michael; indeed, Michael's dates (fl. 1109 x 1114) do not seem to make him a contemporary of Cynesige. Ælfgar (talk) 13:30, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Fixed - no clue how that got corrupted.... Ealdgyth - Talk 17:13, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I changed the date of death of archbishop Cynesige to 22 December. The date stated in citation "Fryde, et al. Handbook of British Chronology p. 224" was quoted incorrectly. You can find the actual book here.
Moreover performing a book google on 'died 22 december 1060 bishop' results in an extensive list of books all stating the date of death of Cynesige being December 22nd: 
book google 22 december

I even went so far as to google 'died 20 december 1060 bishop' but this results in nonsense:
book google 20 december
