Died on this day in 1422 aged 35 King Henry V of England (my toy,wikipedia). The stuff about his early life in Shakespeare is probably Not True, as he was quite busy doing useful things in war and politics not sitting around in pubs.

Born on this day in 1602 to John Solms-Braunfels , Count of Solms-Braunfels and Agnes of Sayn-Wittgenstein, Amalia of Solms-Braunfels (my toy,wikipedia). Grandmother of William III & I. Amalia escaped with the Winter Queen to the Hague after being forced out of Bohemia. She had a big influence on policy, and was responsible for many important marriages. After her son William died she was guardian of her grandson William (later King of England).

Well, not my actually birthday, obviously, as I am 47, not 656.
