Died on this day in 1530 aged 53 Thomas Grey , 2nd Marquess of Dorset (my toy,wikipedia). Grandson of Elizabeth Woodville (wife of Edward IV, but through her first husband), also Grandfather of Jane Grey, briefly Queen. Grey and his father supported Henry VII against Richard III, but were later arrested on charges of treason and attainted, he was pardoned by Henry VIII when he came to the throne.
Born on this day in 1332 to King Philip III of Navarre and Queen Joan II of Navarre, King Charles II of Navarre (my toy,wikipedia). Father of Joan, who married Henry IV. Although Charles was King of Navarre he spent little time there, preferring to live in France (he owned large swathes of Northern France, and hoped to be King of France but didn't manage it). After failing to take the French throne he tried to take Burgundy, but he didn't manage that either. He did manage to *mostly* avoid involvement in the Castille-Aragon war that happened around the same time.
