naathDied on this day in 1153 aged 24 Eustace Blois IV, Count of Boulogne (my toy,wikipedia). Eldest son of King Stephen. He was Stephen's heir, but died before Stephen (in any case the outcome of Stephen's war with Matilda meant that Stephen was succeeded by her son Henry)
Born on this day in 1786 to Franz Wettin , Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and Aughusta Wettin , Countess of Ebersdorf, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (my toy,wikipedia). Mother of Queen Victoria. Her husband Prince Edward died shortly after their daughter's birth and Victoria went on to live in Kensington palace. She did not get on at all well with King William, who managed to live long enough for Victoria to turn 18 and inherit herself; Victoria shunned her mother until after the birth of her first child.
