Only three or four days difference.  I forget exactly when Bede lived,
but the Julian and Gregorian calendars are synchronous for the 200's,
one day for the 300's and 400's, two for the 500's, and so on.  I
believe Bede was 7th century?  So, the difference would've been three
days, so that March 21 Julian was March 24 Gregorian.
