I think you may be referring to the reform of the calendar, correcting the older Julian Calendar to make it more accurate. The new calendar was called the Gregorian Calendar, and it differed from the Julian in some minor ways that have had no noticeable effect on ordinary people for 110 years and will have no more for another 90.

When the change took place, however, the calendar went from Thursday, October 4, 1582 directly to the following day, which was Friday, October 15, 1582, so that an error of 10 days that had accumulated over 1500 years could be corrected.

This was actually after the Middle Ages, and took place during the Renaissance.
