    According to this entry, there were 2 Inquisitions Post Mortem taken. The first "stated he died on Saturday the feast of St. Matthew last (24 September); the second corrected his death date to the feast of St. Matthias (24 February)."

    Note that 24 Sep 1376 was a Wednesday; however, the feast of St Matthew is celebrated on 21 Sep, which in 1376 was a Saturday. 24 Feb 1375/76 was also a Saturday.
