naathOops, I forgot yesterday
Died on yesterday in 1587 aged 46 Grand Duke Francesco I de'Medici (my toy,wikipedia). Grandfather of Henrietta, who married Charles I. Like his father Cosimo Francesco was Grand Duke of Tuscany, ruling from Florence, unlike his father he acted more like a vassal of the Hapbsurgs and less like an independent monarch, but like his father he was a despotic rule. He was likely poisoned with arsenic.
Born yesterday in 1517 to John La Marck III, Duke of Cleves and Maria of Julich-Berg, Amalia of Cleves (my toy,wikipedia). Sister of Anne (wife of Henry VIII). Amalia and Anne were both given a very old-fashioned education (even for the sixteenth century) that emphasised the tasks necessary to run a household, and not things like "reading" or "theology" or even "music", which is kind of sad really. Amalia never married, and she did write a song book inspite of her dreadful education.
