I thought it was interesting that JKR referred to Nearly Headless Nick
as being from the Elizabethan era, which fits with the ruff he wears
in one of the books but does not fit at all with a 1492 death date. In
SS/PS he says he hasn't eaten for *400* years, but in CoS we have his
*500th* death day (Halloween 1992 if we accept the Lexicon
chronology). Clearly If Nick is intended to be an Elizabethan, SS/PS
is right and he died in 1592, not 1492. Elizabeth reigned from
1558-1603. Her grandfather, the usurper Sylvia and I do not name
(okay, Henry Tudor, aka Henry VII--forgive me, Sylvia and RIII!) was
king in 1492. (He was very adept at chopping off heads, or his
executioners were, and they would not have botched NHN's execution.
But another scrapbook item shows that neither the Tudor nor his famous
granddaughter had anything to do with the matter.)
