in some mediterranean countries (certainly in greece at least) tuesday 13th is considered bad luck in the same way friday 13th is traditionally considered bad luck with us.

14th April - as yet unanswered. Clue: assassination
20th Hitler's birthday
2nd June Coronation of Queen Elizabeth (1953)
12th August Start of the Grouse season
11th November Armistice Day
22nd November Kennedy assassinated
7th December Pearl Harbour attacked
Tuesday 13th (any month) - indeed, Tues 13 is the equivalent of our Friday 13th, in Greece in particular because Constantinople was supposed to have fallen to the Turks on that date.

You're way ahead of me. All right so far.
Right so being a history nerd I really liked this thread and decided I'm going to resurrect it. Your new dates:
1347
1492 (for something other then our pal Columbus)
1517
1688
1763
1815
1917
I knew this European history degree would come in handy eventually!
