Jan. 13th, 2015 04:56 pmDied on this day in 1401 aged 8 Charles(my toy,wikipedia). Son of the King of France, one of 4 siblings to die young.
Born on this day in 1794 to Prince Augustus and Lady Augusta Murray Augustus d'Este(my toy,wikipedia). His sister was an Augusta too, and there were only the two of them. Again with the serious lack of names! His father was the son of George III, he married secretly and without permission of the king so the marriage was annulled, and their children illegitimate. Apparently George III was rather cross that his brothers went off and married women who they happened to like whilst he had had to have an arranged marriage for dynastic porpoises and so he passed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marriages_Act_1772 which is still in force although it seems that it is in the process of being Done Away With except for the first 6 people in the line of succession; I'm not quite sure why anyone finds it reasonable to suppose that the Queen telling Prince Harry who he may or may not marry is sensible, or indeed in line with the ECHR... let alone some umpteenth cousin somewhere in Germany!
