Died on this day in 1150 aged 38 Garcia of Navarre (my toy,wikipedia). Grandfather of Berengaria who married Richard I.

Born on this day in 1840 to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, Victoria Princess Royal (my toy,wikipedia). Victoria married Frederick who would later be (briefly) Emperor of Germany, which was both a dynastic and a love match (lucky her), she was the mother of Wilhelm II who was Kaiser during WW1. Having the royal families of Europe closely related to each other is the sort of thing often hoped to produce peace, alas it didn't (rarely has, in anything other than the very short term), it just added a family sadness to the sadness of international war.
