naathJune 19th
Died on this day in 1500 aged 1 Edmund Tudor , Duke of Somerset (my toy,wikipedia). Younger brother of Henry VIII, died at 15 months.
Born on this day in 1566 to Henry Stuart,Lord Darnley and Mary Queen of Scots, King James VI of Scotland & I of England (my toy,wikipedia). During James' reign Scotland and England were separate countries, run separately. It was not until the Act of Union under Anne that they were joined together. James was brought up Protestant, and saw little of his (Catholic) mother who was imprisoned in Scotland before escaping to England where she was imprisoned and then executed. In Scotland under James many women were executed for witchcraft, and the Highlanders were persecuted. In England he faced a number of rebellions, including the attempt to blow up parliament which we now commemorate by setting fire to stuff on the 11th of November.
