April 28:

A.D. 585: A war between Media and Lydia is ended by a solar eclipse.

A.D. 1686: The first volume of Isaac Newton's Principia is published.

A.D. 1770: Captain James Cook lands in Botany Bay.

A.D. 1789: Fletcher Christian and other crewmembers of the H.M.S. Bounty mutiny against Captain Bligh, who is abandoned in a boat with the remaining loyal crewmembers.

A three volume book was written about the mutiny and the survival of Captain Bligh et al. I read the second volume, but haven't gotten around to the first and third yet (they're readable as individual stories).

Actually, all the popes before Liberius (number 36) were canonized, as were the 37th through to the 49th popes. To make it simpler, the following popes, by number, rather than name, and including the ones you have already, are considered saints:

1-35
37-49
51-54
57-58
64
67-68
74-76
79-81
84
89-91
93
96
98
103
105
109
152
157
192
225
257
and of course, 261 and 264, whom you just added.

The following popes have been beautified and have the title "Blessed" (Bl.):

158-159
167
184-185
200
240

I do not know that by memory--I have a list of popes (it isn't as good as yours is, however, since it doesn't have the exact dates of their reigns).

Have fun changing them all (if you care to do so), and...sorry. ;)
