Died on this day in 1476 aged 48 Catherine of Brittany (my toy,wikipedia). Grand-daughter of Joan, who married Henry IV (not Catherine's grandfather), daughter of the Duke of Orleans, she married the Prince of Orange.

Born on this day in 1000 to Richard Normandy II, Duke of Normandy and Judith of Brittany, Robert Normandy I, Duke of Normandy (my toy,wikipedia). Father of William I. He became Duke of Normandy after the death of his older brother, which he possibly caused. He proceeded to get the whole of Normandy excommunicated after throwing the Archbishop of Rouen out... he later reconciled with the church, and died whilst returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, leaving the 8 year old William to be Duke.
