Aug. 13th, 2015 03:13 pmDied on this day in 1090 aged 33 Constance of Normandy (my toy,wikipedia). Daughter of William I. As the favourite child of her mother she was married late (I guess her mother wanted her to stick around) but tragically died not long after, possibly poisoned.
Born on this day in 1792 to George Saxe-Meiningen I, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen and Luise of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Adelaide of Saxe Meiningen (my toy,wikipedia), wife of William IV. William made Adelaide ranger of Bushy Park which I mostly think of in the context of Parkrun. The city of Adelaide in Australia is named for her, as are many other places.
