eedit- ↑ a b During William's lifetime, twa calendars wur in uise in Europe: the Auld Style Julian calendar in Breetain an pairts o Northren an Eastren Europe, an the New Style Gregorian calendar elsewhar, includin William's birthplace in the Netherlands. At the time o William's birth, Gregorian dates wur ten days ahead o Julian dates: thus William wis born on 14 November 1650 bi Gregorian reckonin, but on 4 November 1650 bi Julian. At William's daith, Gregorian dates wur eleven days ahead o Julian dates. He died on 8 Mairch 1702 by the staundart Julian calendar, but on 19 Mairch 1702 bi the Gregorian calendar. (However, the Inglis New Year fell on 25 Mairch, so bi Inglish reckonin o the time, William died on 8 Mairch 1701.) Unless itherwise notit, dates in this article follae the staundart Julian calendar, in which the New Year faws on 1 Januar.
