Died on this day in 1437 aged 35: Catherine of Valois (my toy,wikipedia). Wife of Henry V and Owen Tudor, daughter of the King of France and mother and grandmother of Kings of England (by different husbands). (Along with a lot of people in the database descended from Alfred the Great and ancestor of Liz II). She was the 3rd cousin (probably banned at the time) of Henry V, and apparently unrelated to Owen who was descended from people who thought they should be Welsh Kings.

Born on this day in 1639 Éléonore Desmier d'Olbreuse (my toy,wikipedia) mother of Sophia of Celle, wife of George I. Her daughter was born some years before her marriage but later legitimated.
