Died on this day in 1482 aged 52 Margaret of Anjou (my toy,wikipedia). Wife of Henry VI; Margaret was a fierce partisan of her husband's and son's although Henry was too sick to do much and Edward too young. She was the Lancastrian leader, and was present at some of the battles. When she finally lost at Tewksbury she was taken captive and held prisoner until the King of France ransomed her, thereafter she lived in France.

Born on this day in 1617 to Sir Thomas Aylesbury and Anne Denman, Frances Aylesbury (my toy,wikipedia). Mother of Anne Hyde who married James VII and II. Doesn't seem to have done much of anything really.
