Oct. 3rd, 2015 11:00 amDied on this day in 1431 aged 26 Thomas Beaufort , Count of Perche (my toy,wikipedia). Great-grand son of Edward III. Thomas was a commander during the 100 years war
Born on this day in 1390 to King Henry IV of England and Mary de Bohun, Humphrey Lancaster , 1st Duke of Gloucester (my toy,wikipedia). Humphrey was a more a scholar than a fighter but fought in France during the 100 years war anyway, and was wounded at Agincourt. He was Lord Protector for the infant Henry VI and later claimed the Regency (but the council didn't like that). His second wife was executed for witchcraft, which did nothing to increase his popularity.
