Died on this day in 1487 aged 60 Maria of Cleves (my toy,wikipedia). Mother of Louis XII who was (briefly) married to Mary (sister-of-Henry) Tudor. Maria was a patron of letters, and a poet herself. After the death of her first husband she secretly married a gentleman of her chamber, because sometimes women get to pick there husbands.
Born on this day in 1712 to Frederick II of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg and Princess Magdalena of Anhalt-Zerbst, Sophie of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (my toy,wikipedia). Aunt of George III, or would have been had she not died as an infant (sorry, not many people today)
