With the change in calendars in the 16th century it's hard to pinpoint certain dates to match our own.

That's kinda what I thought but, I figure if you hit the general season and the year in which something happened, historical events ate muddy enough to work. That said ... Yesterday was the March Ides. On that day in 44 BCE, Julius Cesar was jumped in an alley and stabbed to death. Not a good day for him.

It was only the upper classes and that is because they were the ones who got hit up for money to run the empire. Always dangerous to get between a rich motherfucker and his money no matter what century you live in.

Herod the Great is another spectacular example of the pattern.
