Died on this day in 955 aged 32 King Eadred (my toy,wikipedia). Did not manage to actually be King of *all* of England. Didn't marry, had no children.
Born on this day in 1221 to King Ferdinand III of Castile and Elizabeth of Swabia, King Alfonso X of Castile (my toy,wikipedia). Cousin of Eleanor who married Edward I. Alfonso was interested in translating scholarly works into Spanish, and employed many Jewish and Muslim translators; this makes him massively more tolerant of both Jews and Muslims than... a great many other European monarchs of the era.
