Died on this day in 1212 aged 60 Geoffrey Plantagenet , Archbishop of York (my toy,wikipedia). Illegitimate son of Henry II. Having him become a bishop was a good way of getting rid of a potential rival for the throne.

Born on this day in 1574 to King Frederick II of Denmark and Norway and Sophie of Mecklenburg-Gustrow, Anne of Denmark (my toy,wikipedia). Wife of James VI and I. Their marriage was not entirely happy. Anne was a renowned socialite and holder-of-salons.
