Died on this day in 1507 aged 38 Cecily of York (my toy,wikipedia). Daughter of Edward IV. After Henry VII became King Cecily was married to a staunch Lancastrian, but remained in favour at court and became friendly with Margaret Beaufort. However after her husband died she remarried to one Thomas Kymbe whom she apparently selected as being unimportant enough not to draw the ire of the King and likely to make a nice husband - she was wrong about this and was banished to the Isle of Wight for daring to marry without royal permission.

Born on this day in 1113 to King Fulk of Jerusalem and Ermengarde of Maine, Geoffrey Plantagenet V, Count of Anjou (my toy,wikipedia). Married the Empress Matilda, father of Henry II; the marriage was not a happy one, but he did support her claim for the English throne.
