1600 was a leap year. 1700 and 1800 were not because they were not divisible by 400. If a year is divisible by 100, but not by 400, then it is not a leap year. That is the rules of a leap year. So 1600 was, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not; 2000 was and 2100 will not be.
The 16th. century was from 1501 to 1600. Just subtract the current year minus the desired year.
