I saw this meme over at Anna's Musings and thought, "How Fun!" I am a big history buff (B.A. in History as a matter of fact) and what better indulgence than seeing what happened on your birthday in history. All you do is do a search for your birthday on Wikipedia (month and date) and all kinds events from history pop up. Here we go!
3 events:
1649--King Charles I of England is beheaded
1820--Edward Bransfield lands on the Antartic mainland.
1933--Adolf Hitler is sworn in as Chancellor of Germany
2 births:
133--Marcus Severus Didius Julianus-Roman Emperor
1615--Thomas Rolfe--American colonial settler
1 holiday:
Martyr Day (also called Sarvodaya Day)--India
Can you figure out my birthday? How good is your history?
