(no subject)

Died on this day in 1415 aged 40 Richard York , 3rd Earl of Cambridge (my toy,wikipedia). Grandson of Edward III, Grandfather of Edward IV and Richard III. He was beheaded after conspiring against Henry V (the Southampton Plot).

Born on this day in 1199 to King Alfonso IX of Leon and Berengaria of Castile, King Ferdinand III of Castile (my toy,wikipedia). Father of Eleanor who married Edward I. Ferdinand greatly enlarged Castile, and was canonized (I can't quite figure out why) places called "San Fernando" are probably called after him.

Reading Wednesday

Read: Do Not Taunt the Octopus - Mira Grant. A newsflesh novella, the POV character is Dr Abbey. Yay! More Newsflesh! Not of much interest to anyone who hasn't already read and liked the rest.

Reading: Rosemary and Rue - Seanan McGuire. So far I'm liking this a lot. October Daye is a changeling private investigator, and she gets up to stuff.

Next: More Toby Daye... or I got the new Max Gladstone, so maybe that.
