Talk:Saint David

There's a contradiction of dates in this article. Quoting:
- He lived during the 5th century A.D. (date of death march 1st probably 601).
"Fifth century" properly applies to the years from 401 to 500. If David had died in AD 601, he would have been considered a figure of the sixth century.
Could one of the Cymru recheck these dates? I'll eventually get around to this, but I never seem to have enough time, & I'm not sure if the sources I have at hand could resolve this problem to my satisfaction. -- llywrch 18:42 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
- Merriam-Webster Second International has "ab. 500-600", so i am changing it accordingly. --Jerzy(t) 11:31, 2004 Mar 7 (UTC)
What is the basis for the reference to Pelagianism in Rhygyfarch's time? I thought Pelagianism was a 4th-6th century teaching, long ignored by 1050.

According to the "New Advent" Catholic Encyclopedia:- http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04640b.htm
- "a tenth-century manuscript Of the "Annales Cambriae", which assigns his death to A.D. 601. Many other writers, from Geoffrey of Monmouth down to Father Richard Stanton, hold that he died about 544, but their opinion is based solely on data given in various late "lives" of St. David"
