Died on this day in 1135 aged 67 King Henry I Beuclerc (my toy,wikipedia). Henry had two legitimate sons, but they both died when the White Ship sank; he wanted to leave the crown to his daughter Matilda, but Stephen had Other Ideas.

Born on this day in 1844 to King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel, Alexandra of Denmark (my toy,wikipedia). Wife of Edward VII. Alexandra's brother was appointed King of Greece (I'm not really sure how). She was a popular Queen, but had little effect on the running of the country.
