Died on this day in 1539 aged 62 Thomas Boleyn (my toy,wikipedia). Father of Anne (wife of Henry VIII), notable diplomat at the court of Henry VIII.
Born on this day in 1637 to Edward Hyde and Frances Aylesbury, Anne Hyde (my toy,wikipedia). Wife of James VII and II. Anne was the daughter of a commoner, she was heavily pregnant at the time of the wedding. Although she was a commoner the marriage was approved of by the King (Charles II), and their children were included in the succession. Anne converted to Catholicism and James later did likewise, but their children were (at the insistence of King Charles) raised Protestant (these days Catholics aren't allowed to be King). Anne died before James became King so she was never Queen.
