Oct. 5th, 2015 02:26 pmDied on this day in 1285 aged 40 King Philip III of France (my toy,wikipedia). Father of Margaret, who married Edward I. Philip was proclaimed king whilst Crusading in Tunis, and later Crusaded against Aragon. Neither of these places are especially holy Christian sites, clearly crusading was not entirely "lets try to get Jerusalem" by this point...
Born on this day in 1658 to Alfonso Este IV, Duke of Modena and Laura Martinozzi, Mary of Modena (my toy,wikipedia). Wife of James VII and II. After their deposition from the throne of England James and Mary moved to France, where they were accepted at the French court. Mary fitted into French court life much better than James. After James' death Mary was "regent" for her young son James (the Old Pretender) until he was 16.
