Died on this day in 1436 aged 58 Louis III , Elector Palatine (my toy,wikipedia). Married Blanche, daughter of Henry IV. This marriage brought the Palatine Crown into the hands of the Witelsbachs, the crown is the oldest crown known to have been in England, it was likely not made for Blanche but for Anne of Bohemia (wife of Richard II) in Bohemia or Venice or Paris... It is currently in Munich and I don't remember whether I've actually seen it or not (I remember reading about it in the museum near Neuschwanstein)

Born on this day in 1578 to King Frederick II of Denmark and Norway and Sophie of Mecklenburg-Gustrow, Ulrik of Denmark (my toy,wikipedia). Brother of Anne who married James VI & I. Ulrik was Prince-Bishop of Schwerin, and is buried in Roskilde, I definitely didn't see the Cathedral there, but it is a nice place.

I think I remember seeing the crown though I don't seem to have taken a photo of it.
